Shoshanah's little niece Rachel was the sweetest, tiniest flower girl. She thought her Aunt Shosh was a princess.
The Ketubah signing ceremony took place right before the official wedding ceremony began, it was standing room only. The Rabbi did a very nice job of breaking down the meaning of each element of the ceremony and how it was significant in the lives of Shoshanah and Joel, as well as their friends and family.
LOVE THIS PART!!! This is the part where the bride circles the groom 7 times. This signifies building up their new home together. I love the sparkly expression on Shoshanah's face each time she passed her man.
My Husband Kyle, (and fabulous Asst, and second shooter) was so funny that day. He was so nervous about wearing the Yarmulkah on his head. He wanted to be the upmost respectful, but was just not 100% familiar with all the traditions. I couldn't resist pulling a little prank on him with the help of some of the Groomsmen. As you can see in this picture, one of the groomsmen just randomly pulled a red one out of the basket for Kyle to wear. It just so happened that everyone else was wearing either black, or white. I told one of the Gromsmen to tell Kyle "Oh man, you are wearing the Rabbi's Yarmulkah! He is going to be VERY upset.". Anyway, the task ended up being passed onto Shoshanah's Grandmother. The look on Kyle's face was priceless.
The Bride and Groom did a great choreographed dance to open up the reception.
Later in the evening, Joel performed a song that he had written for his new Bride. Everyone LOVED it!
It was a wonderful night!
