on 6/30/2006 The ideal Jewish wedding is by a Jewish, Israeli, photographer. I heard they charge the same prices as US photographers, but do a much better job!

on 11/22/2005 Another fun wedding favor (besides a kippah, which is recommended for men, and not women, in most cases) is the pocket-sized grace after meals booklet. The booklet is called a "BEN-cher" in Yiddish and a "bir-CON" in Hebrew. They include, of course, the Jewish grace after meals with additions celebrating the festive wedding meal. Some benchers/bircons also include the actual wedding ceremony, so guests can follow along if they would like. Most couples have their names and the wedding date imprinted on the booklet cover in English and/or Hebrew. The cost of the booklets runs from 70 cents each (for a 2-3 color paperback) up to $10 each (for a fully illustrated hardback). They are available through many websites. The loveliest benchers I've seen are the Nevarech and the Yonah Weinrib Wedding Shiron.
