Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail attire is preferred but we want everyone to be comfortable so if those heels are too high or that tie is too tight, feel free to loosen up a bit at the reception.

Question

Are Kids Invited?

Answer

We love kids, we really do but we want this to be a night off for you as well. We'd love if you could take this evening for yourselves.

Question

What to expect at our Orthodox Jewish Wedding: The Chuppah

Answer

The first part of our wedding will be the Chuppah. The groom will be escorted by his parents down the aisle followed by the bride and hers. There will be several blessings recited by the rabbi over one of the two cups of wine, followed by the giving of the ring - one of the official symbols that the marriage is complete. After the ring is given our ketubah (wedding contract) will be read aloud. Then the sheva brachot (seven blessings) will be recited. After the sheva brachot are complete the groom will smash the glass which symbolizes that even in the best of times we still mourn the loss of our great temple in Israel (and, yes, it is totally appropriate to scream "Mazel tov!" after the cup is smashed). At this point the chuppah ceremony is complete and the bride and groom will leave to go to the yichud room.

Question

What to expect at our Orthodox Jewish Wedding: The Yichud Room

Answer

What in the heck is the yichud (Yee-hood) room? This is just a space where the bride and groom will go after the chuppah to spend some quiet time alone with one another before they come back to hang out with all of you!

Question

Why is there a wall on the dance floor?

Answer

This is called a mechitza (ma-He-tzah) and it is used to separate the dance floor - men on one side, women on the other. We definitely still want you to get your groove on but this is in the room for religious reasons so please respect it and try to bust a move on your side of the partition.
