The weather was awesome and the wedding was beautiful. This jewish wedding was in true tradition all the way down to stomping on the glass. Ryan the groom and his groomsmen were all decked out in Black tux with classy black shirts and blue vest to match the beautiful bridesmaids in their stunning dresses. The bride Rachel was stunning herself and glowing with beauty! The love from all the family and friends could have been felt miles away. The reception was full of laughter and traditional jewish dancing. The cake was topped with red roses and their monogram. It was great seeing people from previous weddings and catching up on their new lives. Thank you so very much for asking me to be apart of such a special day.
