Ryan and Rachell

My close friend, and groomsmen, Todd Katz just made the best decision of his life. Congratulations Todd on scoring such a beautiful bride. Jen, good luck.

The whole celebration was really amazing. It was my first Jewish wedding, and getting to see it all up close was quite a privilege. (sidenote… I’ve been to 50+ Bar/Bat Mitzvas… So it’s hard to believe this is my first wedding… What’s going on here?!)

The prayers and traditions were powerful and are worth a more in depth study. Todd and Jen, the words of your Ketubah are beautiful and powerful. Be sure not to just hang it up and never read it again. I’d encourage you to do the same with the prayers recited during the ceremony.

Todd and I have been getting into trouble since elementary school, so to see him in a tux on his wedding day was such a blessing. Thanks for forging new territory, Todd. I’m eager to follow your footsteps in just a few days!
