Real Jewish Weddings | Roswell, GA

Betsy was randomly playing on Facebook and did a search for Jewish, single men in Atlanta. She searched through all the profile pages that came up when one caught her eye – Elliott Schwartz! He looked adventurous and fun and made Betsy laugh with the pictures of him making faces and cooking in a wok in the bathroom. Betsy contacted him and after looking through her pictures, he decided it was worth a shot. They met up at a restaurant after work and ended up sitting and talking for hours!! Even though Elliott forgot to walk Betsy to her car (which he’ll never live down) they continued emailing each other, and set up a second date to the Atlanta Braves baseball game. It was at the Braves game that they say they fell in love!! The Braves won, but more importantly they cheered for all the between inning games, danced and sang to all of the songs on P.A. system, and just had a silly, fun time. After Elliott walked Betsy to her car this time, they shared their first kiss. Betsy called her mother on the way home and told her how crazy she was for Elliott and how she couldn’t stop staring at him and smiling!!

Three years later Elliott proposed to Betsy (who had been impatiently waiting for awhile). They decided they wanted a simple but elegant wedding rich in Jewish tradition. They were married in an old southern home on a beautiful day by an energetic Orthodox rabbi with whom they had been learning. Betsy and Elliott spent the night by each others’ side and felt that the night couldn’t have been more perfect! Their favorite parts were the first time they saw each other all dressed for their wedding and the 30-minute long hora that got everyone dancing up a sweat and having a great time. Many of their friends said it was the most fun wedding they ever went to, and their non-Jewish friends joked that they were ready to convert afterwards!

Mazel tov, Betsy and Elliott!
