Wedding at 770

Tonight, Trish and I went to the wedding of Moti Wilhelm, the eldest son of Rabbi and Rebbetzin Wilhelm, the Chabad Shluchim in Portland, Oregon. We were a little slow leaving the house, so we got to Crown Heights right before the wedding started. Unfortunately, we were a little under-dressed, as this wedding was held outdoors.

Did I mention it’s February? It was in the low 30s. Thankfully, we all seemed to have enough cold weather gear to stay warm.

Here’s the Chuppah from a couple angles:

Moti and his wife-to-be. Chabad women use a really thick veil:

The chuppah ended around 6:30. Since the kids usually go to bed at 7:30, we decided to head home. Although Trish didn’t get to say hello to the Rebbetzin, I did see the Rabbi, and Trish saw two of her former coworkers from the Chabad school.
