Question

Why is the wedding in Indianapolis?Why is the wedding in Indianapolis?

Answer

We live in Texas, but with most of Jordan’s family in Illinois and most of Tygerlily’s in Ohio, Indiana was the perfect middle ground. It allows both sides of the family to travel a bit less, and it’s much easier for us to come up to the Midwest than ask everyone to head down to Texas.

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal/cocktail attire. Tuxes and gowns are welcome, as are suits and cocktail dresses. Most of all, we want you to feel comfortable and confident. As a courtesy, we kindly ask that guests avoid wearing white. Men, regardless of religious beliefs, may choose to cover their heads with a kippah during the ceremony as a respectful gesture towards the Jewish traditions. A kippah, or yarmulke, is a Jewish head covering traditionally worn by men during ceremony and prayer. There will be kippot provided for guests to wear and take home as a memento if they wish ♡

Question

I've never been to a Jewish wedding. What should I expect?I've never been to a Jewish wedding. What should I expect?

Answer

The short answer is: a lot of fun! The ceremony will include a few short blessings, a few sips of wine, a ring exchange, a few more blessings, and stepping on a glass. Then, on to the party! The reception will include dinner, toasts, dancing, cake, and all of the usual things you associate with weddings. One thing to look forward to is the Hora, where everyone dances in a circle and the bride and groom are lifted into the air on chairs! There will also be programs provided explaining the order of operations, for anyone who isn't familiar with the process ♡
