When my husband read an early draft of this essay, he asked, "Why doesn't her partner have to support our daughter? After all, they agreed to raise children as Jews." What does it mean to raise a Jewish child?

In this video, we talk about wedding dresses. Arel thinks dresses are ridiculously priced, and I think he’s right but why oh why do they have to be so darn beautiful? I found the perfect dress but it’s beyond my price range…so what to do? For all you ladies out there, did you stay within your dress budget or did you splurge on your wedding dress? Was it worth it?
And of course…Happy New Year – L’Shana Tova! I hope you all have an amazing year!

love the dress!!! but agree way to much money…..have u thought of having a dress maker make the dress….like copy it for less???
I have thought about going with a dressmaker but since the wedding is not too far away, I thought it would be safer to go with an already made dress. I found those websites where you can get a replica for ridiculously cheap but I’m not sure how it would turn out. Plus, to order an already made dress takes quite a bit of time to actually receive the dress. I ended up choosing a dress about 2 weeks ago and I won’t get it until a week before the wedding…ahhh! I felt pressure to make a choice asap but I really like the dress so I’m happy but I now have to find my ‘sleeves’ and still make it look chic.
The dress is absolutely…beautiful…

I ALSO AGREE WITH YOU ””’THAT $6,000 IS TOO MUCH!
A DUPLICATE PROBABLY WILL BE THE ANSWER.

SUGGESTION: TRY DAVID TUTERA FROM MY FAIR WEDDING ON THE WE CHANNEL——FROM WHAT I’VE SEEN ON HIS SHOWS….HE’S MARVELOUS….
