Stacey Spector and Ira Brind
Stacey Leigh Spector and Ira Brind were married Saturday evening past Rabbi William Kuhn at the Horticulture Middle in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia.
Ms. Spector, 53, is keeping her proper noun. She is a partner in Rudnick Spector, a Philadelphia law firm that specializes in clearing. She graduated magna cum laude from Brownish and received a law degree from New York Academy.
Her first marriage concluded in divorce.
She is a daughter of Barbara Spector of White Plains and the belatedly Marshall Spector.
Mr. Brind, 70, is a partner in Pulse Equity Partners, an investment firm. He works in New York and Philadelphia. He is the chairman of the Jefferson Wellness System in Philadelphia and also of the Jefferson-Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine, which is part of the health system. He is also a trustee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The bridegroom graduated from and also received a law degree from the Academy of Pennsylvania. He was a widower, and his start marriage concluded in divorce. His parents, the late Clara Brind and Benjamin Brind, lived in Philadelphia.
The couple met in Philadelphia in December 2009 on a blind date set upwards by a female mutual friend. Mr. Brind was skeptical of blind dates, particularly those arranged by women.
"They spent more time thinking well-nigh their friend than thinking most whether they'd be a good fit for me," he said, "so I started asking their husbands if they were a expert fit. It'southward all about fit."

Merely Mr. Brind had a deep respect for this particular friend, so he said yes without another man's approval.
Ms. Spector said she had heard of Mr. Brind for years when she was "on the market," but had never met him. Mr. Brind was traveling and sent Ms. Spector an due east-mail through a restaurant reservation Web site inviting her to join him for dinner at a Greek restaurant.
Ms. Spector thought this was weird since they had never even spoken. "Normally, no manner," she said. "If I don't like someone's voice, I don't desire to go on a appointment with them."
But her friend's recommendation was then stiff, she agreed anyway. The date went well.
"I loved her smile," he said. "I loved her intense free energy."
At first, Ms. Spector idea Mr. Brind, who was wearing a bow tie, was a bit stiff and formal. "I'm kind of a footling looser and more fun loving," she added.
On the walk back to her apartment that evening, he showed her how to ready up her BlackBerry then they could instant-bulletin each other. Then he starting sending letters to her as they stood in her anteroom, and both descended into a fit of giggles. She said information technology was then she realized that Mr. Brind was much more fun than she had originally idea.
"We were exclusive from our first appointment," Ms. Spector said.
In January 2010, Mr. Brind, a lover of tribal cultures and artifacts, invited Ms. Spector to join him on a ii-and-a-half-week trip to Papua New Guinea that March. Ms. Spector was hesitant. Not merely was it early in the human relationship, but too she had merely started her own law firm and was nervous virtually leaving for such a long time.
She finally agreed, and they sailed upwards and downwards the Sepik River on a small-scale cruise ship, stopping every day at a different village. Despite the newness of their human relationship and the tightness of the quarters, romance blossomed.
"The trip was fabled," Ms. Spector said. "It was amend than great."
He proposed last October. "It was time, and I but did it. Nosotros had a large grin, and it was very common," he said. MARGAUX LASKEY
