Hello Rabbi ,
I wanted to thank you for doing such a great job this weekend at Dan and My wedding. We really enjoyed your service during the ketubah signing and during the huppa. We both really enjoyed listening to your stories and thank you for making it so personal for us. So many people came up to us during the wedding and said how enjoyable and personal you made the huppa. Thank you again for helping us during our engagement and for taking the time to teach us about the meaning of the traditions and giving us material to help us make our marriage strong. I hope we will stay in touch.
Thank you again!
Sincerely,
We were looking for a rabbi in Chicago to officiate at our wedding and found you. Sara and I can't thank you enough for your role at our wedding. You were just perfect and we both felt so lucky to have you there. We really wanted to have a "Jewish wedding" and you made our dream come true. Everything felt so special and sincere. Your remarks were warm, relevant and sounded like you've known us for a long time. We got a lot of compliments after the wedding about your service and it was well deserved.
Thank you for making our day so special. Hopefully I will see you soon.
Fyi, my younger brother and his fiance really enjoyed your service and so did her parents. Her dad is orthodox and his Rabbi won't do their wedding at the hotel. If it's ok with you, I'll forward your information off to my bother and hopefully he'll contact you. It would be great if you can be a part of his wedding also.
Posted on Facebook page of new Jewish Families: Lonny congrats... I can't believe you are being married by the same Rabbi who just officiated our wedding in Oct. Small world. Enjoy all the wedding planning fun and again congrats!!!
I just wanted to thank you so much for coming to Quincy and being apart of our wedding in October. It meant a lot to Bruce and I that you officiated the wedding since you were the Rabbi that helped me convert. Also, thank you for saving me at the hotel when the limo wouldn't start. Oy what a day that was, classic Murphy's Law...but in the end the ceremony was beautiful and I married my best friend, my bashert. Thank you for everything

1 Kiddush Cups (two wine cups, wine goblets) - wine is a central feature during a Jewish ceremony. Two physical bodies will elevate their relationship to the spiritual level. (Actually, 2 wine cups. One old representing your either of the bride or bridegroom's family tree and one new for the bride and bridegroom's union.)
2 A Chuppah - The marriage ceremony is conducted under a wedding canopy. There are two meanings for a Chuppah, the Jewish wedding canopy.The Kallah (bride) and Katan (bridegroom) standing under the Chuppah recite sacred vows to each other. Making the wedding ceremony spiritual.
It symbolizes both the new household the bride and bridegroom are forming and represents the public recognition of their new status as man and wife. The Jewish home is filled with acts of love. Read one brides touching Chuppah Story
3 Ketubah - The Jewish Marriage Contract between bridegroom and bride.
4 Wedding Rings - plain gold bands. This symbolizes the wholeness and eternity of one’s commitment to one’s spouse. (The rings should belong to the bridegroom's family providing the marriage of that couple did not end in divorce.)
5 Hebrew Names - Hebrew names is a person's link to their family tree, their heritage.
Your Hebrew name has 5 elements:
1. Your Hebrew name
2. bar/bat (son of/daughter of)
3. Your father's Hebrew name
4. ve (and)
5. Your mother's Hebrew name
6 Witnesses - 2 Jewish witnesses are needed to sign the Ketubah (cannot be an immediate family member). A cousin is acceptable. Your state marriage license witness' do not need to be Jewish.
7 Over sized Tallit (prayer shawl) - Some Rabbis will wrap together the bride and groom by a single tallit (prayer shawl) and offer a personal, private blessing including the priestly blessings for the wedding couple. The tallit represents the number 32, which is the number of fringes on the tallit shawl. The number 32 is the numerical value for heart in Hebrew.
