A Wedding Invitation For YOU
2011.10.02
My next son, Yoel, recently became engaged to Miriam. They will be getting married on November 14th in NY. As our non-existent budget is already stretched to the max, I was wondering if any fellow PBers might be interested in experiencing a chassidic wedding, and taking pictures? I will later edit the pics and make an album for Yoel and Miriam. Please let me know if you might be interested.....
|
Before becoming engaged, the couple pray at the resting place of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
|
Miriam praying near the grave of the Rebbe's wife, Chaya Mushka Schneerson.
|
|
It is customary to say a maamar, or deep chassidic philosophical treatise, at the engagement.
|
Listening intently...
|
Me with Miriam
|
Part of the spread, at my daughter's home...
|
Remember those amazing cookies from Chaim's engagement? The girl just got back from camp the day before Yoel's, so they are simpler this time, but still pretty amazing and very tasty!

Well, if I was any good at taking "people" photos, and if I had a way to get to New York I would love to do it for you Leah. Alas, I stink at "people" photos and I do not have a way to get to New York. I just know something will work out for you though. This is a wonderful, joyful set and I had to favor one of the photos of you. Whenever I see you I just cannot believe how many children you've had. It doesn't make sense. lol

These photos are really beautiful, family and all. The refreshments are also beautiful and so nicely laid out. I wish I were there because I would gladly step forward. Unfortunately there seems to be a big pond between here and there. Congratulations on the marriage comeing up. BTW: I saw that fun picture with your 6 sons: what is the son/daughter ratio of the entire flock?

Congratulations Leah. Your family looks so happy to be welcoming another member . The photos are wonderful, of the people and of the food. I look forward to following your photos for this marriage as I did earlier this year and learning from your commentary. I am sorry not to be able to help out with some photography.
