Kim and Shay met seven years ago when they were both working at a friend’s bar in central Tel Aviv. Kim was the hostess and Shay was the bartender so they bonded over a festive atmosphere. Kim was born in New Zealand in a non-Jewish family, but had lived in Israel for 20 years. She had wanted to take the plunge and convert for many years, but never found the right time. <\/p>\n

After a few years of friendship, Shay and Kim decided that they wanted to get married so therefore it meant Kim had finally decided that it was time to begin studying. She converted at Beit Daniel in Tel Aviv and was welcomed into the Jewish community in May 2011.<\/p>\n

When Kim and Shay came to look for a rabbi to marry them, there was no question, Rabbi Michael Boiden would be the one to guide them as they began their lives together. He had had a large part in Kim’s conversion.<\/p>\n

Kim is also a wedding planner and designer, so she had a blast planning all the details. She could finally do it exactly how she wanted and the only problem she faced was making up her mind since she liked so many different kinds of ideas! She has planned so many weddings, that she wanted to have her’s in a venue that she had never used before. It was a classic and modern type of an affair, but the design included a lot of potted plants that created a softer, natural look — and became great giveaways at the end of the night! All of the vendors were personal friends and colleagues which meant that she could celebrate with all of them, too!<\/p>\n

Mazel tov, Kim and Shay!<\/p>\n
