More Wedding Pictures: the Reception
The reception was a blast.
Jacob gave an unbelievably great toast,
And Alex gave one that made me mad, but entertained everyone else (he told a bunch of cautionary tales on Ellie.)
There was a bluegrass band, and dancing, dancing, dancing - especially Katy and Dorothy, who monopolized Kara.
Everybody danced!
they had petit fours instead of wedding cake, made by Jacob and his posse.
More group shots:

Wedding Pix
I better get started with these wedding pictures or it will be too late:
The wedding was at Bartram's Garden in Philadelphia, the oldest surviving botanic garden in the US, which predates the revolutionary war.
First came the huppah carriers: Ethan, Peenesh, Nick and Owen,
Elyse, the grooms' sister,
Blue and flower girl Katy
Alex and Dorothy
the groom and his parents, Gail and Marc
and the bride and her parents (us).
Ellie's old friends and co-co-cos from YRUU, Jessica and Kristin lit a candle and gave stirring readings about the meaning of the ceremony.
Elyse read a beautiful poem. I need to ask her permission to reprint it here.
Ellie and Jacob welcomed everyone, and made their vows to one another - and let me tell you, they were terrific vows. Afterwards, many long married couples were saying, "yeah, they really know what they are signing up for!"
They exchanged rings,
Jacob's father, Marc, talked about the significance of breaking the glass in Judaism and his wishes for the new couple, and Jacob broke the glass, and then Marc told jacob to kiss the bride.
Ellie's oldest friend Ann presented the wedding contract that she had illuminated
Ellie and Jacob each signed it
and finally everyone there signed it, as witnesses and community, sealing the marriage.
It was a Quaker service so there was no Minister or Rabbi. Just a community of people who love Ellie and Jacob, and as it turned out at the reception, really dig each other as well.
As you can tell, there were no color themes - everyone wore what they wanted to. Young and I ended up matching when he changed his shirt at the last minute - and Marc's tie matched my jacket - who could have known?
