The house itself was just stunning so there wasn\u2019t much need for decorations.  Orange fan programs were left at each chair for the guests.  Boaz is Jewish so the couple had a unique ceremony blending some of the Jewish traditions with some of their own personal traditions. The most important element of their ceremony was the fabulous chuppah that Kirsten&#8217;s dad constructed. The chuppah was draped with a new tablecloth that the married couple has since used for Thanksgiving dinner, creating a new tradition together. Kristen&#8217;s father spent many hours  on the project and he got to enjoy quality time with his future son-in-law who helped build it, too. This was such an important part of their ceremony that the rabbi discussed it in his speech, mentioning how symbolic it was that Kristen&#8217;s dad helped build the chuppah with his own two hands and how the chuppah represents the bride and groom&#8217;s first home together as a married couple. <\/p>\n<p>At the reception, Boaz and Kristen put on quite a show for their guests!! The couple had been taking ballroom dance lessons because Kristen loves <em>Dancing With the Stars<\/em> and they both enjoyed their classes!  They decided to showcase a choreographed dance for their grand entrance and they wanted something fun and upbeat so they boogied to \u201cJump (for Your Love)\u201d by The Pointer Sisters.  They learned the hustle, and the dance moves included Boaz lifting Kristen up and spinning her around.  Boaz even did leaps in the air during the chorus. <\/p>\n<p>Kristen and Boaz had a perfect wedding day filled with a traditional and meaningful ceremony followed by a festive and fun reception! Sounds like a great wedding to us!<\/p>\n<p>Mazel tov, Kristen and Boaz!<\/p>\n<p>*<em>You can see Kristen and Boaz&#8217;s wedding in the current Southern California issue of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theknot.com\">The Knot<\/a> magazine.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Venue &#8211;  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ambassadorcampus.com\/\">The Merritt Mansion at Ambassador Campus<\/a><br \/>\nPhotographer &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.embracelifephoto.com\/\">Embrace Life Photography<\/a><br \/>\nCoordination &#8211;  <a href=\"http:\/\/tealightweddings.blogspot.com\/\">Tealight Weddings and Events<\/a><br \/>\nOfficiant &#8211;  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weddingswithspirit.net\/\">Weddings with Spirit\/Rabbi Barry Tuchman<\/a><br \/>\nBridal Gown &#8211;  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pearlsplace.com\/\">Allure Bridal from Pearl\u2019s Place<\/a><br \/>\nHair and Makeup &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.susiechhuor.com\/\">Susie Chhour<\/a><br \/>\nVeil &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.projectwedding.com\/vendor\/show\/in-stitches-with-reene-alterations\">In Stiches with Reene<\/a><br \/>\nBakery &#8211;  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cakerybakery.net\/\">Cakery Bakery<\/a><br \/>\nCatering &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trulyyourscatering.com\/\">Truly Yours Catering<\/a><br \/>\nFloral Design &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.projectwedding.com\/vendor\/show\/lv-floral-events\"> LV Floral Events<\/a><br \/>\nEntertainment &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calsounds.com\/\"> California Sounds<\/a><br \/>\nKetubah &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mpartworks.com\">MP Artworks<\/a><br \/>\nBridal Shoes &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caparrosshoes.com\/home.aspx\">Capparros<\/a><br \/>\nBridesmaid Dresses &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pearlsplace.com\">Pearl&#8217;s Place<\/a><br \/>\nGroom&#8217;s and Groomsmen Formalwear &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tuxedosbymike.com\/\">Tuxedos by Mike<\/a><br \/>\nRentals &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dolphinpartyrentals.com\/\">Dolphin Party Rentals<\/a><br \/>\nGuest Accommodations &#8211;  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sheratonpasadena.com\/\">Sheraton Pasadena<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter\" alt=\"pasadena-california-jewish-wedding\" title=\"Pasadena California Jewish Wedding\" src=\"\/yentas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Embrace-Life_Levy_01.jpg\" width=\"580\" height=\"387\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter\" alt=\"pasadena-california-jewish-wedding\" title=\"Los Angeles Wedding Photographer -
