Ben is from Israel and his parents were in town shortly after he proposed to Eden, so they decided to plan their wedding in two weeks in order for his parents could attend!

They were married at Moraine Lake in Lake Louise Alberta, in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. The ceremony site looked over the gorgeous, crystal blue lake. The natural surroundings look so pristine and perfect — like something out of a Lord of the Rings movie. The scenery is truly amazing and makes for the most romantic backdrop. Eden and Ben posed for photos around the lake after they said “I do” and then the newlyweds headed off to an intimate wedding dinner with close family and friends in the city of Banff.

Mazel tov, Eden and Ben!

Molly and Alan are a JDate success story! But Molly and Alan met years prior when Alan dated Molly’s roommate in 2007. Three years later, they got it right and started dating. The proposal came on Molly’s birthday, when she was least expecting it. Alan had planned a birthday dinner in DC and that his friend would be picking her up. Instead, a limo pulled up and Molly was super pumped for a limo ride, not even knowing that Alan was just on the other side of the windows waiting to propose. He even thought ahead enough to plant his camera with the limo driver so he could snap some photos!

Molly and Alan enjoyed with a beautiful wedding with classic and timeless details. The memories are sure to last them a lifetime!

Mazel tov, Molly and Alan!

Elisha is a newspaper journalist in Annapolis, Maryland and Joshua teaches broadcast journalism at University of Maryland. These two newsies planned a typical Jewish wedding along the Chesapeake Bay, but spiced up the entire event with a beautiful nautical theme.

The boat-by-the-shore style created a laid-back environment, but the preppy tones kept their wedding day classic and traditional. It’s almost like J.Crew and Neiman Marcus got married! Even down to the kippot, the details were impeccably designed and Elisha and Josh’s love shined through!

It was a hot day, but still full of cozy and romantic shots for Diana and Nick. After having the tender first look at the hotel, the bride and groom set off for Busse Woods, a forest preserve just outside of Chicago. There were a few storms in the days leading up to the wedding so they were extra cautious as they walked on the semi-wet grass to avoid any soggy areas.

After a some time out in the nice summer air, it was off to Victoria In The Park for the ceremony. It’s a Chicago favorite due to the big beautiful windows, a large space, and it’s totally private because the entire building hosts just one wedding per day. In a non-traditional setup, Diana and Nick took advantage of all the space by setting up their dance floor out in the open area where the dinner tables normally are. This allowed their DJ to set up a larger stage and lights without being limited by a low ceiling in the “dedicated” dance floor area. As with most European weddings, the party went on and on, long into the night.

On their wedding day, Eroica and Josh made their family big, happy, and official! It’s so sweet one minute they are a combo of adults and child, and in the next, they become a family. The whole wedding weekend fit them to a T. Set in Apalachicola, the destination wedding was both big (big personalities, big fun) and intimate (close family and friends, the creation of a new family). Their interfaith ceremony at the Dixie Theatre was not only distinctive and sweet, but the couple and their family managed to make it humorous. There was pure joy on their faces throughout all the readings and vows, and when the glass refused to break at the end, everyone couldn’t help but laugh. Their reception at the Gibson Inn was elegant and full of dancing. Of course, the couple entertained the crowd when they were lifted into the air during the Horah.
