Real Weddings | Beth Tfiloh, Baltimore | Sarah And Meir | By Washington DC Wedding Photographer Michael Temchine

Real Wedding Description

Orthodox Jewish weddings are amazing affairs if for nothing else the shear emotion and energy brought to the day by the family and guests.

Sara and Meir began their day with fasting and prayer. They have not seen each other for the preceding week. Unlike many secular couples they have only known each other for a few intense months and have never touched. Their wedding day was tremendous.

Guests at Jewish Orthodox weddings are commanded to make the couple happy on their wedding day. The guests at Sarah and Meir’s wedding knew how to do that. With raucous dancing, schtick that included Sarah’s brother breathing fire, and recklessness not generally associated with orthodox people (unless you know them), the wedding left Sarah and Meir with sweat dripping from their brow, sore feet, and enough joy to propel them through their wedding year.
