Mrs. iWe’s son #2 and his bride.
For millennia marriage has been enforced as a social contract—with pressure from the broader society to uphold its terms. The ceremony you described reflects the social support and commitment that envelopes the bond of passion that has formed. It ensures that if passion fades, the social and personal benefits will remain.
I agree, @rodin, especially because the community will–their immediate community and the broader Jewish community will hold them up and support them. Thanks for a fine description.
May the marriage last a thousand happy, growing, and prosperous years.
Woo Hooh! Lucky you!
And many, many blessings to the new married couple: How wonderful!
Thanks, @GrannyDude! I’m a person who doesn’t like big crowds and sometimes struggle with small children running around. But it was all so intimate and joyful, I couldn’t help but love it all.
