1. Â Â Â How they brought their and their families energies into the wedding.
2. Â Â Â Josh made the Chuppah himself.
3.    He used one of Rachel’s Grandfathers Tallit to cover the Chuppah.
4. Â Â Â The Kiddush Cup was a gift from a dear aunt.
5. Â Â Â They wrote their own vows.
6. Â Â Â Rachel used her Grandmothers wedding ring.
7. Â Â Â They were wrapped in another Grandfathers Tallit.
8. Â Â Â The glass that was broken was a gift from another aunt.
That is a lot of contributions to the event and this is a great part of the success of the ceremony.
