Just was wondering how many people on this forum had a Jewish wedding with the "Sheva Brachot" , Chupa, glass-breaking, and everything else. Explain what made this special...

We did and I will explain later....

My wife and I were married in a church who had no idea what a Jewish wedding was. My wife did all the explaining of the "how-to's". We were married by a christian pastor and a messianic cantor (btw Yafet- do you know Steve and Jeannie Gelbart from KC)? Anyways, after the ceremony we followed an orthodox tradition in which instead of the "mazal" of throwing the flowers, they seat the bride on a huge decorated chair and she blesses all the single women. Ayelet and I both prayed over and layed hands on the single men and women to bless them. This was neat because it wasn't luck oriented, but was based on the blessing of G-d.
