The groom, despite being Catholic, is an AEPi. And, from reading the article, they weren't entirely ignorant of Jewish customs and the symbolism behind them. I think that makes all the difference.
It seems that everyone's looking for something to make their wedding "different" or "quirky," and is this part of this? Will Irish-Catholic couples start doing henna because it's "different and exotic," without fully understanding the meaning?
