From cruise ships to resorts, Celebrate the new ring on
Jewish destination weddings your finger with the sand
mix intrigue and tradition between your toes.
By Deborah Fineblum
The groom was 60-years-old and the wedding
was seven years ago, yet the magic and romance of No passport required.
the moment continues to inspire not only the cou-
ple themselves, but the 800 witnesses to that
momentous occasion – many of them complete
strangers.
Yaakov and Marsha Motzen were joined in holy
matrimony in a ceremony that adhered strictly to
the Jewish wedding traditions and kosher laws that
they both hold dear. Unlike most religiously obser-
vant couples, however, they chose to get married
on the open seas.
“Our ketubah (marriage contract) may be the
only one in the world to list under location of the
wedding, ‘Between Fort Lauderdale and St.
Thomas,’” Marsha says of her cruise ship wedding.
Since the groom is one of the most famous cur-
rent cantors and performers of Jewish music, the
wedding was destined to melodically fill the ship.
In fact, more than a dozen big-name cantors and
other musical luminaries were on board to add their
voices to this event, including Avraham Fried, • Reception for up to 250

tions. More Jewish couples are opting to exchange
vows in gorgeous places around the world – with-
out sacrificing Jewish tradition in the process.
Taking this trend to the next level, a leading
kosher cruise and travel company, Kosherica, is LakeviewHotels.com/Gimli
now partnering with the Atlantis Paradise Island
resort in the Bahamas to create a program for pic-
turesque Jewish destination weddings and other
celebrations (such as bar/bat mitzvahs).

vivid blue Bahamian waters, to a local rabbi, to cuisine prepared under the direction
of world-class chefs, to a mashgiach (kosher supervisor). Some packages also
include photography and dolphin swimming for the guests.
“Atlantis has the advantage of having a facility where you can make it into an
entire wedding weekend, which is what most families want to do,” says Kosherica
spokeswoman Aliza Seidman.
“Some families prefer to keep the weekend casual with buffet meals and maybe
a Saturday night barbecue, and then the wedding on Sunday is more formal,” she
adds. In the fall of 2015, Avi and Nicole Yurman of Toronto were the first couple
to be married under this partnership. “Having our chuppah overlooking the ocean
was so beautiful,” says Nicole. “We were able to have a smaller wedding, just 115
family and close friends, in an unforgettable location. It was perfect for us.”
Jewish destination weddings constitute a growing trend,
according to those involved in such celebrations.
More Jewish couples are opting to exchange vows in
gorgeous places around the world – without sacrificing
Jewish tradition in the process.
Kosherica, which was founded more than two decades ago, offers cruise travel-
ers kosher food prepared by five-star chefs. “We’ve had winter weddings in trop-
ical Caribbean, bar mitzvahs with Alaska glaciers in the backdrop and renewal
vows in the gorgeous Mediterranean,” says Kosherica Chief Financial Officer
Helit Edelstein.
How much will such a kosher destination wedding cost? Ceremony site fees for
events for Kosherica start at $3,500, and costs are calculated based on how many
guests and meals are included. The wedding packages with Atlantis run about
$400 per person for the festive weekend. Atlantis representatives anticipate that
the partnership will be a fruitful one for everyone involved.
“In our efforts to continue to expand our offerings and market reach, we knew
there was a need for kosher catering in the destination segment,” says Jessi Hill,
Atlantis’s executive director of weddings and special events. “Groups wishing to
hold true to their traditions don’t want to be limited in their geographic location.”
At least one rabbi is happy to welcome Jewish groups to the region.
“I applaud Atlantis for going out of their way to accommodate kosher weddings
and bar and bat mitzvahs,” says Rabbi Sholom Bluming of Chabad of the
Bahamas. “This program is a very exciting development for the island.”
But it’s probably even more exciting for the Jewish couples who embark on
their lives together in these exotic locales.
“I like to say that aboard ship, we had an intimate honeymoon with 800 people,
our kids and grandkids,” says Marsha Motzen, who recalls a memorable moment
under the chuppah during which she wondered if the ship’s movements were
strong enough to knock her off her three-inch heels.

Put More You into Your Wedding Day
(Family Features) A wedding day is filled with symbolic tradition, from var-
ied religious customs to the never-ending circle reflected in the rings and the
types of flowers accentuating the celebration. Even with all the traditional
rituals to consider, nearly every bride and groom can find ways to give their
special day some unique touches that reflect their personality and love.
Music sets the mood for every wedding, and it’s an easy place to put your
own spin on the celebration. Whether you forgo the traditional bridal march
entirely or simply look for an arrangement that gives an updated twist to the
classic version, let guests know this isn’t your average wedding by setting the
festivities against a soundtrack that lets your true character shine.
The wedding party is intended to be a collection of those nearest and
dearest to the bride and groom, who help ensure the day goes off without
a hitch and who lead fellow revelers in celebrating the start of the new cou-
ple’s life together. That being said, there’s no reason this group must be lim-
ited to women on her side and guys on his, or even that it’s limited to CU R AT IN G A GR ACEFU L L IFE

Wedding Planning 101
(Family Features) First comes the proposal then
comes the wedding planning. There are dozens of deci-
sions that need to be made before it’s time to walk
down the aisle, which can be overwhelming for brides
and grooms.
To help make it less stressful, these tips from Macy’s
can help couples through the entire wedding-planning
process, from on-trend apparel and accessories for the
entire wedding party to all the essentials to create a
perfect registry.
Dressing the Ladies
When it comes to bridesmaid dresses, the mix-and-
match approach is trending in popularity. Start by
deciding on a color palette, such as lilac, champagne
and petal pink. Then have each bridesmaid choose her
favorite style within that range of hues. Bring it all
together by choosing a uniform look for makeup, shoes
and accessories.
There is no better time to thank the ladies than the
morning of the big day. A few thoughtful gifts can go a
long way, such as matching robes, tumblers to stay
hydrated throughout the day and cosmetic cases to
stow makeup essentials.
Dressing the Gents
Similar to bridesmaid dresses, groomsmen attire can
be dependent on the venue and overall event aesthetic.
While a suit can fit the bill for a country club wedding,
a city affair may call for the sleek finishes of a tux.
Tuxedo accessories, such as cuff links or bow ties,
make great groomsmen gifts and are classic pieces they
can use time and time again.
Creating the Perfect Registry
When building a registry, it’s never too early to start.
People want to give gifts as soon as they know a cou-
ple is engaged. Start by taking inventory of what you
already have, what you need and what you want to
upgrade. It’s also recommended to update the registry
regularly so there are enough gifts to choose from,
especially if there is an engagement party and bridal
shower coming up. To get started, some popular reg-

ance, couples can speak to advisors who can help with
the full registry building process at Macy’s stores.
