Snip: The interfaith wedding — Catholic and Jewish — took place the evening of July 7 at the W Hotel at Union Square in New York City, with a priest and a cantor presiding.

The groom noted during the exchange of vows that he had met his future bride “during some unusual circumstances.”

He is a journalist who worked on her ABC “Primetime” story. It told of her unlikely survival, and of her decision to speak out on behalf of survivors of sexual violence.

“You revealed yourself to be a beautiful warrior the second I met you,” Eric said in front of the wedding congregation. “With your regal elegance, insightfulness and compassion, you inspire me to be better.”
