When we got engaged we were on a side trip from Amsterdam in Antwerp, Belgium. Happy to be engaged and happy to be alone, we took a break from the madness of touring and had our own little bed-in.
It didn't quite last a week (more like a very long morning) and the newspaper was not there to ask about our political message.

Me kissing Ari on another day in New Orleans. Peace. |
Hippies at heart (and at our parents' hearts), we knew it would be a party that would last for a weekend just like any good music festival, and it be on grounds where many of our friends and family could stay (like a little commune).
CHUPPAH is the canopy under which the marrying couple stands during the
wedding ceremony. It is a Jewish wedding tradition which was first used
in the marriage of Adam & Eve. Since we are 1/2 Jewish and Ari chose
to pop the question on the corners of Jerusalem and Oude Wagg Streets,
no doubt there would be many Jewish customs as part our multi-cultural event.
Just engaged: on corner of Jerusalem Street |
