Last weekend, we attended the Hendriks - Sackin wedding in Port Huron at the Thomas Edison Inn. The ceremony was outside, and while it looked like it was going to rain, luckily it didn't, so the view of the water in the background was amazing. The reception was inside so we didn't care how cold or how wet it got outside afterwards. Above: The happy couple.
It was my first Jewish wedding and in many ways, it is like an Indian ceremony. In both ceremonies, we get married under a chuppah (Jewish) /mundap (Hindu). Both weddings have seven blessings read out loud and additionally in the Indian ceremony the seven steps are taken as they are being read out loud. At the end glass/cloth is broken/torn to symbolize good luck. At the reception the bride and groom are lifted in chairs as a symbol of congratulations!
And below is another happy couple!
Such a cute pic of the two of you =)
