Yup. Unfortunately, Cheryl's family is from LI and wants to have the wedding there, where this sort of thing is normal, even the default. (Most of the catering halls masquerading as shuls are under orthodox hashgacha, in this case the Star-K.) Let's just say it isn't what I would have chosen to do.
Anyway, halachically, there are factors which cut both ways, so it isn't clear whether it is better or worse to get married in a conservative synagogue versus an orthodox one (the other major option on LI).
Chicago born, raised there & in Hawaiʻi, university outside Boston, studied things-jewish in Israel, now in exile from my hometown, living in the nose-bleed section of Manhattan, & doing graduate work in philosophy at CUNY.
