€0 eight months
later, anot er friend, Michael
Kelter, arranged a blind date with
that cute guy in the photo,
unaware that she ever noticed his
picture.
"Our first date was at Fran
O'Briens Maryland Crab House
in Auburn Hills, and we closed
down the place," said Heidi.
As a wedding photojournalist,
Katzman captures special
moments in other people's lives,
but she felt instinctively this was
a significant moment in her own
life. And she knew they clicked.
After a one-year courtship, the
romantic proposal by candlelight
occurred during a power outage in
Charlevoix. "I thought the power
failure was planned," chuckled
Katzman.
On September 9, 2001, Heidi
Katzman married Henry
Wineman III at The Ritz-Carlton
in Dearborn. "Over the years I've
had the advantage of going to
many weddings, and I knew I
wanted something different,"
explained Katzman. Elements
combined to ensure the unique-
ness of the occasion: Waiters
served lemonade prior to the cer-
emony; the couple provided
pocket-size programs; handker-
chiefs, as well as kippot, were
handed to guests; ushers escorted
guests separately to the round
and square tables in the ballroom;
the waitstaff took individual din-
ner orders; and a painted scrim
was incorporated into the decor
(fabric backdrop creating an illu-
sion often found in dramatic per-
formances). According to wedding
planner Darin Asselin of Bootsie,
Winkie and Miss Maude's in
Rochester, "The evening was a
theatrical production."
