{Real Jewish Weddings} Grand Canyon National Park, AZ

Rebecca and Evan met at the Jewish Center at the University of Illinois on a cool, Spring night. Just after the second anniversary, Evan proposed at the bottom of the Grand Canyon at sunrise during a hiking trip. So, it was only natural that they say “I do” where Rebecca said “yes!” Evan and Rebecca planned a simple but meaningful wedding at the Grand Canyon on a date that was significant to them: the fifth anniversary of their first date!

It was important to incorporate Jewish traditions, so Rebecca and Evan were married under a chuppah and Evan definitely enjoyed breaking the glass. They exchanged vows with magnificent views around them, even though Rebecca’s vows were rewritten on the fly! A few hours before the wedding, Rebecca sat down to finalize her vows, but could not find them. She completely re-wrote her vows and did not find the original vows until a few months later.

Mazel tov, Rebecca and Evan!
