Orthodox Wedding

[ChavaK]

This video is a little long- 8.5 minutes- but I thought it
was interesting as it shows the wedding of a BT who
married a woman he had known two weeks. It also
describes the feelings his family and friends have...
Also a good look at a frum wedding, if you've never
been to one (they can get pretty wild!):

The whole video I was wondering "Why aren't they interviewing the bride"... until it got to the very end.

The whole video I was wondering "Why aren't they interviewing the bride"... until it got to the very end.

I thought that was a little strange too- carrying tzunius
a little too far ....

I understand not filming her dance though. But no interview? I guess to each their own.

I noticed the mother of the groom did not speak either, although the
father did. The parents are not religious, so I guess if mom said
anything it go tedited out.
I also thought it was interesting that the non-religious father
supported the idea of an arranged marriage; that as long as the
core values of the couple were compatible, that love would come
later (if not there already). Kind of reminds me of Fiddler on the Roof

If I were a rich man....

"Do I love him..."

I enjoyed the video.

Its not the way I would have picked a husband, but I've heard that arranged marriages have a better success rate so...

each to their own, and I hope that the will be very happy together.
