“We made it!” Alex read as she was wearing her beautiful wedding dress, standing under the Chuppah looking up at the man that she adored with all of her heart. They finally made it! There wasn’t one person standing in that room that didn’t know, that didn’t truly feel, how incredibly meaningful it was for Alex and Rafi to finally be under the Chuppah. They may have had their civil marriage finalized in March, but their wedding didn’t feel complete until they were there dressed in white, smashing the glass and surrounded by family and friends.

There is something so special, so intimate about witnessing a wedding like Alex and Rafi’s; deep, emotional and so full of purpose! Everyone there felt the joy and the happiness with Alex and Rafi! It was inspiring to witness! Before the end of the night, the guests sat Alex and Rafi down! They looked confused in the best way. They genuinely had no idea what was going on! All of the sudden we all heard:

“Listen baby, ain’t no mountain high
Ain’t no valley low, ain’t no river wide enough baby
If you need me call me no matter where you are
No matter how far, don’t worry baby
Just call my name I’ll be there in a hurry
You don’t have to worry”

Every single one of their guests stood in front of them, dancing, singing their hearts out, remind Alex and Rafi that nothing would keep them away from celebrating their wedding together.

Alex and Rafi, I have said it once and I will see say it again, your love is fierce and your bond is strong, I hope that will never change!
