This Sunday we returned to Country Squire Restaurant in Grayslake, Illinois for another 2009 wedding. We met with Randy and Adam alone for their getting ready photos and their family portraits. Things were a little behind schedule at first, however we managed to catch up and start things fairly well on time. Since the wedding itself was at noon, we had plenty of time with us.

 

The bride looked amazing as she walked down the aisle to her groom. She was simple glowing and laughing as the groom stood waiting for his bride to be. Both Randy and Adam somehow managed to smile, giggle, and laugh out loud during their wedding… keeping both themselves and their photographer smiling. Such amazing spirits!

 

The traditional Jewish ceremony was outside in the lovely gazebo and concluded with the breaking of the glass. This tradition represents the changing of the relationship, just as the glass will never again be the same, the couple will also be different as a newly united and married couple. The ceremony also included sharing of the wine, with the entire nuclear family and signing of the wedding certificate with the mothers.
