During the Ceremony
It means so much to us to have you all participate with us in the ceremony. We ask that you walk down the aisle during the processional. You will have assigned seats in the front row for the ceremony. Order of Processional and who you walk with: Michael & Shari Mark & Ann Annette & Lew Carroll & Dennis
Blessings during the Ceremony
There is a section of the ceremony where the parents give a short blessing. Rabbi Talve will ask each of you to briefly stand and join us to recite your blessing before retaking your seat. We have chosen blessing themes with each of you in mind and it would really mean the world to us for you to give a short blessing. Think 1-3 sentences on this topic as it relates to marriage. If you paste this link below into a search engine you can find the history of the Seven Blessings along with some modern interpretations. Feel free to use this link for inspiration or if you really like the script next to your theme...go with that too! https://www.ritualstoday.co.uk/seven-blessings-a-modern-interpretation-of-a-beautiful-jewish-ritual/ Blessing Themes: Love: Michael Loving Home: Dennis Humor and Play: Carroll Wisdom: Steve via Zoom Health: Mark Art, beauty and creativity: Shari Community: Ann Shehecheyanu: Annette
