Lise & Ben: June 25, 2006

I knew I would like Ben & Lise from the moment Lise called me to schedule a consultation. She said "Unfortunately Ben can't make it, but I'm considering bringing a cardboard cut out of him, so you can still see him." Adorable!

They had, as anticipated, a really fun and personal wedding this past weekend at the Top of the Market room, right in the middle of Pike's Place Market. It was a gorgeous day and I cherished getting to witness their traditional Jewish ceremony.

Congratualtions you two! I LOVED being at your wedding. On to pictures!

The view from the bride's getting ready room.

The Bride

The Groom

The blessing from the Rabbi during the signing of the Ketubah.

Their beautiful Ketubah scroll.

No pictures of the ceremony were allowed,

but I did sneak this one of the chuppa being brought in.

And up they go!!!!

Another funny Lise story: Right before they did the Hora, she said" We've got to go rock out with the rabbi - I'll be right back."

The couple in the market.

The toasts - the Best Man (and brother of the Groom) gave the funniest toast I have ever heard - complete with a Powerpoint slideshow!

The first dance

Then the serious dancing got started.
