Tamar and Raphael met at the Moscow Nights party sponsored by JConnect Seattle. After more than a year of dating, traveling, having fun and sharing friends, Raphael knew that Tamar was the one. Raphael scheduled a dinner at a fancy restaurant to commemorate Tamar’s birthday and during dinner he surprised her with tickets to go to Brazil so they could visit his parents. Tamar was delighted by the romantic birthday evening and excited about the upcoming trip to Brazil. The surprises continued and before the evening ended, Raphael was proposing marriage and Tamar happily accepted.
For their wedding, the couple felt strongly about incorporating Jewish traditions in their wedding ceremony. They had a ketubah signing and a beautiful ceremony under the chuppah. Keeping with family tradition, the wedding was officiated by the cantor which Tamar had her bat mitzvah with as a young girl. The wedding and reception were held in a magical venue among their family and friends.
Mazel tov, Tamar and Raphael!
