You made such a stunning bride, Marion!!! Continued blessings to you!

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

Oh my gosh I missed your lovely comment, thank you so much!! That is incredibly kind of you to say!!

[@Momma_Vanessa]

My Jewish Mommy Life No worries 😉💞

[@shirelcohen8716]

Love this!!! You were such a beautiful bride! BTW, for those who do not know, the breaking of the glass is in memory of the destruction of the Jewish Temple.

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

Thank you so much! Thank you for that added insight!

[@prettyluckypenny8059]

A video on what to expect at a Bar/Bat Mitzvah would be great. We constantly have friends ask us what to expect at the service if they are not Jewish, what to gift or how much money to give, whether they’ll be food, if it’s for both adults and children and so on. I love that friends want to be educated guests, I never want to exclude someone from a celebration because they have different religious beliefs and I always want to make them feel as welcome as possible.

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

That is SUCH a good idea!! I will definitely try to film that video, I absolutely love going to bar/bat mitzvahs and agree that a lot of people want to know what to expect!

[@PlantifullyBased]

I am going to my first Jewish wedding in August!! This was so helpful to know what to expect! love seeing the clips of your wedding looked beautiful

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

Oh my gosh that's awesome!! I'm so glad this video was helpful for you!

[@classified773]

I was 16 when I attend my first Jewish wedding and I can say, It. Was. LIT! And yes, it varies on how religious the couple is. My friend was very modern orthodox, but her in laws were def. strictly kosher and the reception was segregated. Women on one side men on the other but I had a great time celebrating her big day and I attended the weddings of her two other sisters and brother, each varying in how devout they are. thanks for sharing!

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

That is so awesome, I have only been to a few orthodox weddings like that but they were definitely some of the most memorable and fun!!

[@classified773]

I absolutely loved it very much and it was the highlight of my teen years! Now as an adult, I don't have a single jewish friend who isn't wed makes me miss the Jewish wedding fun so I miss it but the memories are that of a lifetime :D

[@shartman2150]

Awwww... I loved seeing parts of your wedding! Your dress was beautiful as were you. The Hora really is the best, isn't it?!?!

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

Yay oh my gosh I loved sharing them so I'm so glad to hear you liked it!! Thank you! and yes totally!!! whenever we're at a wedding I'm always thinking...when will the hora start! lol!

Watching this in 2020. Am really happy I found your channel am loving every bit of the Judaism🥰. I really wish I could have a Jewish wedding 🤔but am not sure I will. 💖💖

[@LittleKosherLunch]

Being lifted in the chair with my husband during our hora (in the backyard where I grew up) was the absolute highlight of my wedding! I would have been so sad without a hora - such fun!!! Everyone we love, young and old were up on their feet and celebrating with us! This was a great video and loved your wedding footage!!! Thank you for sharing! 💗

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

Oh my gosh that sounds amazing!!! I really wanted to have our wedding in my parents' backyard! It was too small so we ended up having the shabbat dinner the night before there which was so special! I hope you share some photos on Insta of your wedding I'd love to see!

[@LittleKosherLunch]

I'm sorry to say this is not a really Jewish wedding. This is a conservative wedding...

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

What I think you're implying is that Conservative Jews are not Jews in which case I have to disagree.

[@bellebirodker6392]

What is the difference? This is a Jewish-conservative wedding

Hi Marion! I'm Lisa. I've just recently discovered your channel. 😊 I've truly enjoyed watching your videos and think it's so beautiful & inspiring to have a fellow Jewish woman, such as yourself, be so proud of each aspect of our religion - and to give others such a positive (and educational) outlook on it. This wedding video was so sweet! 💖 You made such a lovely bride & your boys are the cutest, as well. Have a safe and healthy rest of your pregnancy & keep up the awesome videos! 🤗 Good Shabbos from New York!

[@Melanie-u3k]

Thank you for explaining a Jewish wedding. It sounds like a great celebration with traditions and everyone having a good time.

[@megspitzer9406]

I remember going to 2 Jewish weddings for 2 of my dad's cousins, but they're not my cup of tea, to be honest. And every time I order dinner at the reception, the waiters always take too long and are always slow!😓

[@azukarzuchastux8066]

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

[@tuktuk3142]

Listen from your side about Jewish wedding is very interesting.i mean I am excited to see a Jewish wedding.

[@jillcreamer6342]

My soon to be husband is of Jewish decent but does not practice the religion. However, we do want to include some Jewish wedding traditions out of respect for his heritage. At the Jewish weddings he's attended, he said the bride and groom, after walking out of the sanctuary, came back in, dancing, and grabbed others to dance with them and exited the room again. Have you ever seen that at a Jewish wedding? I wanted to find a video of that but I can't seem to find one. Can you give me some insight on that or point me to a video that shows the bride and groom doing so? I appreciate any insight or help you can give me.

[@raegibson3066]

You two make a beautiful couple in this video..... My cousin is Jewish so I've been to her bat mitzvah but never a Jewish wedding so I can't wait to attend hers someday..... Watching this during Covid really hits home when you talk about the breaking of the glass that symbolizes the shatters world and the destruction of the Jewish Temple..... Beautiful wedding you had.....

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

Thank you so much! I agree thinking about large weddings and celebrations like this in 2020 is a bit heart-wrenching.

[@nicoleyoshihara4011]

God Bless!^_^ I'm Catholic but I was interested in seeing what goes into a Jewish wedding

[@cenedra20]

Such a lovely video! Couple of things: -The broken glass is a mourning symbol of the lost Temple, reminding the Jews that it is still missing. Building together a shattered world is a beautiful interpretation of this custom, which I appreciate. - The Hora may seem difficult to infiltrate (a closed circle), but actually all it requires is approaching the dancers, sometimes touching the conected hands of two dancers, in order for them to open up and let you join. I highly recommend!

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

Thank you so much and thank you for sharing this additional insight!

[@ildikojakab641]

Hora means prostitute in Swedish so I guess it ads a little more fun to Swedish jewish weddings :))))

I just rewatched this video and I have to tell you how gorgeous it is. You looked absolutely beautiful and the chuppah was stunning. And most importantly it is so touching to see how much you love each other. I am happy to see how you are happy, now with your husband, children and dogs, living a meaningful and fulfilled life (at least that is how it seems to me and I wholeheartedly wish that it is true). Oh, and did I mention what a lovely, graceful kallah you were?

Thank you!!!

[@salmonela8604]

i'm actually a bit perplexed to see there are differences between jewish weddings in usa/canada (i'm assuming you're n. american from the accent? please correct me if i'm wrong!) to those in israel. i mean, a great part of them is similar, but in general it seems the n. american consensus is more reformic while in israel it's purely orthodoxi, in the sense that only a "very open-minded" rabbi usually allows the bride to be present when signing the ketuba, let alone sign on it herself, or even say something when giving a ring to the husband (in general it's far more common here that the brides give the ring at the yekhud room). also the horra isn't really a thing in israeli-jewish weddings. i really loved this video if only for the opportunity to learn of all these differences! i'm getting married myself in four months haha

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

From my experience you'll find every community from reform to ultra orthodox in the US! In Israel yes it is much harder.

[@PhoenixL0vee]

I just attended a wedding in Israel and the chuppah was so emotional and beautiful! The rabbi was funny and sweet, the men sang the blessings and we all joined in, the bride and groom said their vows (after the groom put the ring on her finger and before she gave him his). It was an orthodox wedding but the families were only traditional and not religious. The chuppah is very long, it’s like 40 min, but we cried and laughed and sang the prayers and clapped along! Quite the party it was and it wasn’t the party time yet haha

What do you eat at these weddings ?

[@izabelmoala8380]

Aww I literally bawled at the part where yous are saying your vowels!! you're looked so beautiful! 😭❤️️

[@raegibson3066]

I am Ukrainian so I understand the lots of food..... Since I was a kid any event or relative's home we went to was filled with photo albums, laughs, stories, memories, food.... No one was ever left hungry and you were encouraged to eat as much as you like.... Definitely no one was by any means rich but there was always enough love and food for all....

[@michelepascoe6068]

Sounds wonderful. Thanks for explaining in an encouraging and welcoming manner. May you and your family be blessed with heavenly peace and wisdom..

Plus during the ceremony the rings are put on the right first finger during the blessings and switched later.

[@footyfan101ful]

When my brother got married they signed the ketubah after the ceremony when they sign all the legal stuff for the country (being Australia). Maybe each places has different traditions.
