hi

editor's note

WEDDINGS. This issue of Platinum magazine offers plenty
of romance-inspired stories to help you prepare for your own
wedding. Beginning with "Perchance To Dream" on page B14,
we profile Israeli wedding-gown designer Pnina Tornai, whose
sumptuously exquisite creations were until recently only avail-
able in New York — now you need only drive to Birmingham
to get your hands on one. Next, we offer a peek inside the
wedding of Joanna Miller to Michael Steinberg in "A Family
Affair." The couple, who met at the University of Michigan
and wed at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield last summer, celebrated their nuptials
with plenty of family, friends and fun — take a look on page B18. And the theme is
continued in the Buzz, on page B12, where you can find gorgeous jewels to acces-
sorize your wedding day (for yourself, your bridesmaids, even your groom) by local
designer Diane Harris. The column also introduces a brand-new Jewish speed-dat-
ing service — the first of its kind in Michigan. Looking for a DJ for your wedding?
Check out Ashley Calderon, a local salsa dancer and DJ — and the featured person-
ality in this month's Four Questions on page B26.
Enjoy!

IN FEBRUARY'S THE BUZZ," THE DESIGNER OF THE STRETCHY CRYSTAL RINGS WAS INCORRECTLY IDENTIFIED AS
SEA-SMADAR EUASAF. THE CORRECT DESIGNER IS HELY ROTBARD OF HELY DESIGNS. WE REGRET THE ERROR.
