OCT. 27 – For newlywed Cori Zacharius, the hora dance almost turned into a horror show. “On my way back down to the floor, I fell out of my chair and my dress went up over my waist,” says the fifth-grade teacher at H.B. Mattlin Middle School in Plainview, L.I. “I can’t wait to see the video of me falling!” Zacharius and Scott Cohen, a manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Manhattan, wed and celebrated at Temple Beth Torah in Melville, L.I. In a hall filled with white calla lillies and apple-green hydrangeas, 250 guests dined on filet mignon, lamb and duck, and danced to the Original Faze 4’s renditions of everything from The Beatles to Pink. “It feels surreal,” says the happy bride. “It was incredible.”
