sparks went off a day early when shana + evan got married on july 3rd at the westin buckhead! they had an orthodox jewish ceremony and i just love the rich traditions and customs that are part of these celebrations. first off, the bride + groom are in separate rooms before the ceremony and are likened to being a queen + king for the day as they receive guests. in the grooms room, the ketubah is signed and then the groom is led to the room of his bride to lift her veil and make sure that she is his chosen bride. this is a really emotional moment and this custom dates back to the time of jacob when he was tricked into marrying the wrong bride because he could not look under her veil before the ceremony. fortunately, evan did not have this problem! then the ceremony takes place under the chuppah canopy which symbolizes the home that the bride + groom will share which will be full of hospitality...which is sure to be the case with this very gracious + super fun couple! didn't know you would get a mini history lesson on this blog, now did you? well, let's just suffice it to say that scott had a really great time with shana + evan and all their guests! here's our favorites from their amazing wedding...
