Hi everyone! welcome to our wedding site! Thank you so very much for taking the time to look us up and browse through our registry. We can't wait to see you at the wedding!

The ceremony will be held at Cape Fear Botanical Gardens on the Great Lawn. Everyone who comes has access to all of the gardens for the entire day so feel free to explore and take in the scenery!

We will be having a picnic luncheon consisting of kosher vegetarian selections.

Please let me know ahead of time if we need to make hotel arrangements for you! I will be booking a hospitality suite at a hotel near the Gardens and will let you know what hotel that will be soon.

We wanted our wedding to have special meaning, so we picked the weekend before Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. This way, we will not only be starting our lives together but we will also be starting a new year as a Jewish married couple. I hope that you all can appreciate the symbolism as much as we do.

The festival of Rosh Hashanah--the name means "Head of the Year"--is observed for two days beginning on Tishrei 1, the first day of the Jewish year. It is the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, and their first actions toward the realization of mankind's role in G-d's world.

Rosh Hashanah thus emphasizes the special relationship between G-d and humanity: our dependence upon G-d as our creator and sustainer, and G-d's dependence upon us as the ones who make His presence known and felt in His world. Each year on Rosh Hashanah, "all inhabitants of the world pass before G-d like a flock of sheep," and it is decreed in the heavenly court, "who shall live, and who shall die... who shall be impoverished, and who shall be enriched; who shall fall and who shall rise." But this is also the day we proclaim G-d King of the Universe. The Kabbalists teach that the continued existence of the universe is dependent upon the renewal of the divine desire for a world when we accept G-d's kingship each year on Rosh Hashanah.
