Tina & Yakov – The Philadelphia Jewish Wedding!

Meet Tina & Yakov! This lovely Orthodox Jewish Ceremony was held at a family mansion just outside of Philadelphia. Of the many traditions in a Jewish Wedding, the Bedeken or veiling of the bride is the most exciting to watch. The Veiled Bride to be sits in a room surrounded by her bridesmaids, Mothers and her other ladies.  After signing the wedding contract, the Groom dances in to the room surrounded by he’s groomsmen and family over to Bride to lift her Veil. All the while, everyone is singing and chanting and playing music. It’s a really fun event to witness! The Ceremony itself was held on the back patio of the home where Tina & Yakov had their Chuppah made that morning. It was a beautiful ceremony filled with laughs and a little crying but the absolutely the happy kind. Check out some of my favorites from the day.
