Our Rabbi: David, say, "I promise to love you, respect you, and support you as Jewish husbands have always done for their wives."
David: I promise to love you, respect you, and support you as Jewish husbands have always done for their wives.
Rabbi: Meg, say, "I promise to love you, respect you and support you as Jewish wives have always done for their husbands."
Me: I promise to love you, respect you, and support you as Jewish wives have always done for their husban.... WAIT, no that's not right!
Rabbi: Oh! Sorry! Partners! I mean, wives! I mean, partners!
David: No, it was right.
Me: No it wasn't.... oh, I mean yes it was. Oops.
Rabbi: Now you're just trying to confuse me. I had a pair of lesbians yesterday.

That is so incredibly hilarious! I love it! Egalitarian rabbis are the best.

AWESOME!!!! So awesome. This would be reason #100 why I read this friggin blog instead of go to bed on time. Because you do entertaining things like that. =)

Hilarious. Similar thing happened to me actually, during the ceremony all we hear is "rustle, rustle, splash SPLASH" and it turns out that my dog and my friends dog, who are usually so well behaved – have decided that this is the appropriate time to go wrestle in the mud. I have a picture of it too, it's one of my favourites!

Oh, that's fantastic! Thanks for making me laugh on a gray morning, Meg. Also, I think this is the first good look I've gotten at the party dress — it's beyond fabulous!

Meg! You look so, so happy in that first photo. Glowing! I'm glad there was an oops moment so you guys could laugh it off and glow. :)

It's the Persian Rose Ketubah. Google that and you'll find it.

I was all ready to comment "wow, that photo is AMAZING" when I saw the first shot (because it really is) but then I saw the other two photos, and suddenly your joy is more amazing than any photo. Ceremony laughs are the best.

I do love when a ceremony gets funny! Your dress is TO DIE FOR. My friends did that wine ceremony thing – where you each pour a glass of wine and then take a sip – in this case the nervous groom drank the whole glass – then the celebrant said 'Now pour your remaining wine into the same glass – this is your contribution to the marriage' to which everyone cracked up. Best ceremony I've ever been too. So glad you could have a laugh at yours!

So funny! It's not just any Rabbi that's marrying lesbians one day and straight couples the next.
