Sweet wedding with Sara & Brent at the Indianapolis Westin Hotel.

I always enjoy weddings with an twist.  Sara & Brent had a jointly administered Jewish /Christian wedding. What a wonderful thing to see two religions come together to blend two lives, loves, and families.

In most traditional American weddings a bride will be escorted down the isle by her father only. For some reason this never makes sense to me so it was exciting to see Sara come down the isle with both of her parents. What a lovely tradition in Jewish weddings!

I love the chupah too! There’s something about it that helps to visually provide a focal point for the wedding not to mention it symbolizes that the couple are making a home together and that it will always be open to guests.

The breaking of the glass ceremony is fun at the end of the ceremony. Thank goodness it’s broken inside of a cloth bag usually making clean up so much easier and no one gets hit by flying glass.

The ketubah is usually so beautiful, especially for those of us who love typography. My favorite ones are the kind that all of the guests sign. Sara and Brent’s had the most beautiful colors!

Finally, I wish every wedding had the Hora!!! I want to do the Hora myself in fact! It looks like tons of fun and just a little scary to be hoisted up on chairs above a singing dancing crowd of all of your favorite people. I also love the circling, swirling guests dancing and laughing, holding hands and going in circles around the dance floor. (Somebody PLEASE invite me as a guest to a Jewish wedding!)

Congratulations Sara and Brent! Make sure and checkout their slideshow to see move details.
