Weddingbee gallery

This photo was taken seconds after the groom smashed the glass and his sister handed me back my bouquet.

Other than a reading in English (I Like You) and a everything in both English and Hebrew, we pretty much had a traditional orthodox ceremony. It was exactly what we wanted.

Behind us are our ketubah (Jewish wedding contract), and two kiddish/wine cups that we used during the ceremony. They each had special meaning to us.

If you're wondering what the groom is wearing, it's a kittle; a white, linen, robe-like garment that he will wear for Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) services, and traditionally is what he will be buried in as well (my mom made it from a men's pajama top pattern that we lengthened). Over that, he's wearing a tallit, or prayer shawl. He wears it to services at the synagogue for shabbat and other holidays as well.
