Age: 24

Affiliation: Reform

Occupation: Research Assistant, Student

Wedding Date: June 2009 at the Bride’s Childhood Synagogue in Baton Rouge, LA

About Me: I’m planning a modern and slightly quirky wedding. The wedding will include a lot of DIY ideas (I like to think I could be a designer in another life!) with a yellow and gray color palette. My reception will feature a Klezmer band that also plays a lot of New Orleans jazz style music which will appeal to our mostly Jewish, mostly out of town guest list. The majority of our vendors have ever dealt with a Jewish wedding before so planning has been quite interesting!

DJ and Yoni: Our Bedecken and Ketubah Signing

Posted by DJ

We finally got our professional wedding pictures back! I’m going to start from the beginning and work my way through the event post by post, so as not to overwhelm you with photographs.

The first ceremonial order of business was the bedecken. The pre-ceremony traditions seemed very casual to me, but festive at the same time; a lot like a bris that takes place in someone’s kitchen (except  that everyone left with all their body parts in tact!)

Somehow, I look dazed and confused in almost every bedecken photograph, so these are the best I could post without embarrassing myself!
