Hey guys, today I am going to talk about something a little different than what I usually talk about. Today I am going to talk about weddings! So my uncle got married about 2 years ago and I decided to write about hi wedding. So before they got married they knew each other for about 3 years then they got married in 2009. There was so many people at the wedding it was very surprising. There were about 600 people! I guess because they both are still in the army so they invited a lot people from there. Except their friends they invited many family members. Since we are not Christian we don’t have a priest so a “rabbi” married them. A rabbi is like a priest but for Jews. They got married in a public place in Tel Aviv (which is where they live). I think they picked that place since most of the people they invited lived there and also because it was a new place that the bride loved the look of. It wasn’t a special place or anything like that. It was out side under a “hupa” which is a white sheet of cloth attached to wood that sometimes people hold or they just stick it to the ground.
The bride wore a beautiful whit long dress and but the groom usually goes to change during the wedding. They usually start with a regular white shirt and jeans then they change into a black suit then into jeans and a shirt with a cool quote on it. In Israel they usually wear either black or white but they don’t have to its their choice. In this ceremony there are usually not only a bide and a groom involved there are flower girls that wear a pink puffy dress and the mother and father of the bride and the groom are usually involved too and they wear all black. There were a lot of decorations and mostly tall white flowers. There were some pretty pictures too. There was a lot of extremely load music playing I think it was mostly pop but the DJ just made sure that we can dance to them! The bride and the groom danced to a song that they both really liked. And then everyone got up and started to dance too. The food they served was regular things like meat salads etc... usually in Israel they don’t give out a special dish that is special for the country in weddings. The bride is brought to the groom by her parents and then the groom brakes a glass raped with aluminium. The groom’s father usually makes a speech at the end of the ceremony too. The ceremony its self lasted about 15 minutes and the party was about 2 hours until everyone went home.
When I asked the bride how it was she said it was wonderful and it went exactly how she wanted it to go. “I was very happy with how it went! It was very nice like I hoped it would be” she said. She also said that it could of been better if they gave the food out quicker because by the time we started to eat everyone was starving! But when I asked the groom he said everything was just right and he doesn’t think it needed anything else to make it better. He liked the decorations and the way everything happened. Over all the wedding was perfect it looked amazing! Everything was just right and I enjoyed every minute. When I get older I want my wedding to be pretty similar to this but I think in the future many things will change. The only thing that I think I would do differently on my wedding I will probably ask for different food if it’s possible J
