After taking their time ] taking their time to walk down the aisle, Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky really got it right when they were married Friday night in New York City – amid a glittering crowd that included the Trumps, Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos (who officiated), Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman (apparently together again, briefly), Chevy Chase, Joan Rivers, Barbara Walters and Billy Joel, who performed two songs.
The couple's secret? Planning.
It started "last December," said Elli Jafari, general manager of the midtown restaurant Le Cirque. "We really kept the secret well. Even my best friends didn't know about it."
The ball got rolling "one night," said Jafari, when "Beth got up when they were leaving, and she stopped me and she said, 'Would you be my wedding planner?' And I gasped. … I've never done weddings." Even so, "I said, 'Sure, why not?' "
The bride- and groom-to-be ended up coming to the restaurant – which, in various locations, has been a Manhattan power spot since the Reagan Era – "once a month," says Jafari. "Beth is vegetarian. She eats fish, but not shellfish or meats. She's an animal activist, so she wanted the menu to be animal friendly."
After several tastings, the final menu was selected four months ago.
