Rachel Estée Sam and William Josiah Rubenstein are to be married Sunday at the Boston Harbor Hotel in Boston. Rabbi Moshe Waldoks will officiate, incorporating blessings in Hebrew, English, French and Cambodian. On Saturday a traditional Khmer wedding celebration was held at the Sunny Da restaurant in Lowell, Mass., that included a pairing ceremony, during which ribbons representing blessings were tied on the wrists of the bride and groom.
The bride, 25, is keeping her name. She is a manager at Global Health Strategies, a public health consultancy in New York. She works primarily on polio eradication and H.I.V. prevention. She graduated from Yale, from which she also received a master’s degree in public health. She is a daughter of Tioulong Saumura and Sam Rainsy of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Mr. Sam Rainsy is the leader of the Cambodian National Rescue Party, the opposition party. From May 1993 to October 1994, he was Cambodia’s minister of finance. The bride’s mother is a member of the Cambodian Parliament from Phnom Penh.
Next week, the groom, 27, is to enter the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. He graduated cum laude from Yale. He is a son of Dr. Susan R. Gordon and Dr. Mitchell H. Rubenstein of Brookline, Mass. The groom’s mother is an internist at the Brigham and Women’s Physician Group in Chestnut Hill, Mass.
