Welcome to the Shavaton
Our Purpose
Savyon Sordean
Bride
In case she hasn't already told you, Savyon was born and raised in Berkeley, California. She is one of the most vocally excitable people you'll ever meet, shrieking for joy any time she sees a baby, finds a lemon tree, or finds people moving out of their apartment who are trying to give everything away. If you're looking for Savyon, she's probably foraging for flowers, watercoloring beautiful cards, sleeping a full 9 hours, or telling you "she's just a baby." She loves sunsets, the beach, sunsets on the beach; as well as dancing, Beyonce, crying, and talking about poop. The key to her heart is fancy dark chocolate, some good cuddles, and British timepieces, like The Crown, Downton Abbey, and Bridgerton. Savyon has major FOMO so she cannot wait to have all of her people in one place for a weekend so there is nothing to miss out on!
Shai Weener
Groom
Shai is a stellar man and human, who cares deeply about people around him, but most deeply about Santa Cruz brand dark roasted crunchy peanut butter. On any given day, you'll find him eating it with a spoon on top of a banana (the banana is just an excuse to eat the PB) with chocolate chips. Shai enjoys cooking for his friends, especially baking challah on Fridays, which rivals his father's recipe. If you ever talk to Shai on a Friday, in between challah batches, he'll also tell you about all the new music that just came out the night before. His favorite musical/movie is RENT, and one of his favorite artists is Chelsea Cutler. And, fun fact, Savyon proposed to Shai at a Chelsea Cutler concert. It was epic, but didn't come close to how epic Shai's proposal to Savyon was.
