FAQs
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
"We ask that you wear semi-formal attire. Imagine a nice garden party meets a classy celebration. Colorful floral prints, dresses of any length, pantsuits, blazers of any color, fun ties, and slacks are all welcome. Make sure to bring a sweater or something to keep you warm in the evening. We encourage you to reuse outfits you already have (like maybe an old bridesmaid dress you only wore at that one wedding or your favorite, well-worn dress shirt). Make sure you wear shoes that you can dance and walk on grass in.
Question
Will the Wedding be Outdoors?
Answer
Our ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside and on grass (so choose shoes carefully). Our reception will be inside. However, if the weather isn’t on our side and it rains we will have the entire event indoors.
Question

Usually very comfortable (highs 23°C/74°F, lows at night 12°C/60°F). Be prepared for cold just in case (especially in the evening). It also can rain during this time of year. As we get closer, we'll update the weather forecast.
Question
What cultural traditions will be taking place?
Answer
This celebration will be a blend of Jewish and Filipino traditions. We will be married under a huppa (a canopy which represents God's presence at a wedding and in the home.) We will be doing a money dance where the bride and groom dance together and guests line up with cash to place on the person of the bride while the groom removes them. (So be sure to bring some cash). And we will be dancing the hora, a joyous group dance where the bride and groom are elevated on chairs.
