Da'na & Mark's Wedding
Procession
Vows
Ketuba
Reception
& Dancing
Da'na Frances Mathis and Mark Joseph Motto were married on Sunday, June 3, 2007 at the Forest City Clubhouse, 141 Westview Street, Forest City, North Carolina
The chupa is carried in then Da'na and her attendants enter
She danced around each of her attendants, presenting each of them with a rose...
They were addressed by the Rabbi ... and moved under the Chupa
...their vows were exchanged
The Ketuba was read...
... and the traditional cup of wine was drunk
The traditional wedding blessings were read ...
...and Mark stomped the glass, "Mazel Tov"
... Mr. & Mrs. Mark Motto
Curtis was one of the two witnesses to sign the Ketuba
The reception was held inside the Forest City Clubhouse.
A live Jewish Klezmer band, Freylach Time", provided music for the evening.
Almost everyone came to dance!
Da'na had asked Curtis to lead the dancing.
The circle began to move around the room
It didn't take long before Mark & Da'na were up dancing, too
Connie, Curtis, Mark & Da'na
Everyone danced ... and danced ... and danced.
Many of these folks would rather dance than eat!
Hine Ma Tov ... Hava Nagila ... Od Ye Shama ... Tsadik Katimar ... Mikamocha ... Zemer Atik
Were just a few of the dances for the evening
As the Bride & Groom were seated in the center of the room, the men gathered around them. Mark seemed to be thinking, "I'm not so sure about this!"
As the music started again, Up they go! The men moved in a circle as the music plays...
...the ladies made a second circle around the couple and began to dance
Od Yi Shama
"Od yi-shama be-arei yehudah, Uve chozot yerushalaim,
"Od yi-shama be-arei yehudah, Uve chozot yerushalaim.
Kol sasson, ve kol simcha, Kol chatan, ve kol kalah,
Kol sasson, ve kol simcha, Kol chatan, ve kol kalah.""A song shall be heard in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem,
A song shall be heard in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem.A voice of joy, and a voice of gladness, A voice of the bridegroom, And a voice of the bride,
A voice of joy, and a voice of gladness, A voice of the bridegroom, And a voice of the bride."
