Madeline and Daniel say “I DO!”

Madeline and Daniel hosted their wedding on Sunday, July1, 2012. They held both their wedding ceremony and reception at The Eden Regal Ballroom & Catering. One of the most emotional and beautiful ritual to take place during a wedding is a traditional Jewish bedeken. During this ceremony, the groom is escorted by his father and the bride’s father, the rabbis and his friends, to his bride who is waiting for him on her “throne”. The men leading the groom’s procession to his bride dance and sing in front of him. Once the groom is near his bride, the men split to the sides so that the groom and bride are facing each other. Traditionally, this is the first time the groom see his bride. Imagine the anticipation of the bride and the women when they hear the men singing. In it also traditional for the couple not to see one another for a few days leading up to this moment. In Madeline and Daniel’s case, it was seven days. The energy and emotion that takes place during this ceremony is unreal! People laugh, cry, sing, and dance – all the wonderful things that we as humans do to celebrate. Madeline and Daniel’s event did not slow down from there.

Madeline worked with the colors purple and ivory- which worked so well together and complimented the ballroom well. We saw these two colors everywhere from the bridesmaid’s dresses, to the linens and even the Candy Bar. The bride and groom chose a cupcake cake in place of the traditional wedding cake. We are seeing more and more cupcake cakes pop up this year- they are just so much fun! The great thing about the cupcake cakes, is that you get a few more flavors with this option versus the tiered wedding cake. Yumm!
The bride and groom had a beautiful day for photos! Emily Harris Photography did a great job at capturing these breathtaking images! Take a look at these stunning photos below!

It was a pleasure for me to work with such a fun couple. I wish you both the best and thank you for letting Eden Regal Ballroom & Catering share in your special day! Congratulations to you both!

Rosh Hashanah Seder

On both nights of Rosh Hashanah, a number of foods are eaten to symbolize our prayers and hopes for a sweet new year. Many of these foods were specifically chosen because their Hebrew names are related to other Hebrew words. An accompanying prayer is recited, expressing our wishes inherent in these words and foods.

For a traditional seder, before Rosh Hashanah, gather the following items:

• Dates – Related to the word תם—”to end”; for the end of evil
• Small light colored beans – Related to the words, רב—many, and לב—heart; that our many good deeds should hearten G-d to us
• Leeks – Related to the word כרת—”to cut”; to cut down evil in this world
• Beets – Related to the word סלק—”to depart”; that evil should depart from this world
• Gourd/Squash – Related to the word קרע—to rip apart, and also קרא—to announce; that the evil verdicts be ripped and our merits be announced instead
• Pomegranate – that we be filled with mitzvot like a pomegranate [is filled with seeds]
• Apple and honey – renew for us a year good and sweet like honey
• Head of a ram or a kosher fish head – that we be a head and not a tail
