Yael & Daniel
About Our Wedding
Tisches
Singing and celebrating
During the cocktail hour preceding the ceremony, Daniel and Yael will each have a tisch (Yiddish for table) where people will gather for singing, teaching, and reflection before everyone comes together for the chuppah.
Ketubah
The Marriage Contract
Daniel and Yael (along with some honored witnesses) will sign the ketubah, the traditional marriage contract that outlines their obligations and commitments to one another. They will also be signing a shtar ahava, another document that they composed together outlining their goals and values in the establishment of their union.
Chuppah
The Wedding Ceremony
Under the chuppah (wedding canopy), Yael and Daniel will both give the other a wedding ring as a symbol of their commitment to one another. As with the ketubah, they will be incorporating traditional aspects of the ritual while emphasizing the equal role they each have in this ceremony.
Dinner and Dancing
Party Time!
After the chuppah, it's time to party! Daniel and Yael will have a few private moments before joining everyone for a delicious meal and great music.
Sheva Brachot
Extra time together
At the end of the dinner, everyone will come together for Sheva Brachot, the seven blessings that accompany Birkat Hamazon (The Blessing after Eating) after a wedding. Yael and Daniel will also be having Sheva Brachot meals for the whole week after the wedding! This is a great opportunity to spend some time and celebrate with everyone in a more intimate setting.
