You bet there is! But if you're worried about being able to dance the night away with the happy couple, being only ~20 miles from Manhattan, you're just a short uber ride away!
You may and can, but only if the bride and groom are in the most flattering light. Also, no hashtags
The Bedeken and Tisch are both religious ceremonies that occur before the Chuppah (the wedding ceremony). At the Tisch the groom hosts his male friends, relatives, and the Rabbi. It’s a tradition where guests gather around a table to eat, drink, and congratulate the groom. This is where the Ketubah is signed. The Ketubah is a symbolic marriage contract that’s part of Jewish law. Afterward, the groom, surrounded by friends and family, is ushered singing and dancing to see his bride at the Bedeken. Before the groom is brought to the bride at the Bedeken, everyone is invited to the Shmorg (cocktail hour) and the Bedeken. This Jewish wedding tradition is from the Bible. There is a story of Jacob who was fooled into marrying his true love’s sister. She had been wearing a veil, and he mistook her for the woman that he wanted to marry. Tradition states that if the groom veils the bride, he can’t be fooled! And like the Tisch before it, the Bedeken is finished with singing and dancing while the groom is whisked off by his friends and family. After the bride is veiled, everyone moves on to the Chuppah for the wedding ceremony!
