Dear Bride & Groom, Mazel Tov on Your Engagement and Forthcoming Dear Bride & Groom, Mazel Tov on your engagement and forthcoming marriage. We at the Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue are delighted that you will be celebrating your simcha in our synagogue. As the Rabbi of the congregation, I look forward to meeting with you, and to making your wedding ceremony a beautiful and meaningful experience. In preparation for the ceremony, please complete the attached questionnaire. Confirmation of your wedding date cannot be made until I receive this form, so try to return it as soon as possible. Please note that you must obtain a civil marriage license prior to the wedding. Please call me approximately three months before your wedding date to make an appointment for us to meet together. At that time, I will explain the Jewish wedding ceremony, answer any questions you may have, and discuss marriage-related issues.

PAGE 4 FOREWORD FOREWORD The world of the social history museum is a microcosm of the society from which it has arisen. It reflects the educational and social standards of historic and contemporary life and will change its focus as it is influenced by cultural change. Today it is no longer acceptable for a museum to simply exist. As Stephen Weil said in 2002, museums have to shift focus “from function to purpose” and demonstrate relevance to the local community.

  • Selling Daughters: Age of Marriage, Income Shocks and the Bride Price Tradition
    Selling daughters: age of marriage, income shocks and the bride price tradition IFS Working Paper W16/08 Lucia Corno Alessandra Voena The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) is an independent research institute whose remit is to carry out rigorous economic research into public policy and to disseminate the findings of this research. IFS receives generous support from the Economic and Social Research Council, in particular via the ESRC Centre for the Microeconomic Analysis of Public Policy (CPP). The content of our working papers is the work of their authors and does not necessarily represent the views of IFS research staff or affiliates. Selling daughters: age of marriage, income shocks and the bride price tradition⇤ Lucia Corno† Alessandra Voena ‡ June 11, 2016 Abstract When markets are incomplete, cultural norms may play an important role in shap- ing economic behavior. In this paper, we explore whether income shocks increase the probability of child marriages in societies that engage in bride price payments – transfers from the groom to the bride’s parents at marriage. We develop a simple model in which households are exposed to income volatility and have no access to credit markets. If a daughter marries, the household obtains a bride price and has fewer members to support. In this framework, girls have a higher probability of marrying early when their parents have higher marginal utility of consumption because of adverse income shocks. We test the prediction of the model by exploiting variation in rainfall shocks over a woman’s life cycle, using a survey dataset from rural Tanzania. We find that adverse shocks during teenage years increase the probability of early marriages and early fertility among women.

  • Instructor's Guide
    As Long as We Both Shall Love The White Wedding in Postwar America INSTRUCTOR’S GUIDE As Long As We Both Shall Love explains why the American wedding has retained its cultural power, despite the many social, political, and economic changes of decades following World War II. The modern white wedding – an event marked by engagement with the marketplace, recognition of prescribed gender roles and re- sponsibilities, declaration of religious or spiri- tual belonging, and self-conscious embrace of “traditions” such as formal dress, proper vows, and a post-ceremony reception – has survived, and even thrived, Karen Dunak argues, be- cause of couples’ ability to personalize the celebration and exert individual authority over its shape. The wedding’s ability to withstand and even absorb challenges or interpretation has helped the celebration maintain its long-standing ap- peal. Because accepted wedding traditions, such as an exchange of vows before a select- ed authority fi gure, the witness of the celebra- tion by a chosen audience, or the hosting of a post-wedding reception, could be shaped to fi t personal values and visions, celebrants – from sweethearts of the early postwar years to hippies of the 1960s to same-sex couples of the 2000s – maintained those traditions. While couples had long aimed to make their wedding distinctive, as the twentieth century came to a close and the twenty-fi rst century began, adding a unique element to a wedding became an increasingly standard practice. The fact that weddings allowed for experimenta- tion opened doors for both how and by whom weddings might be celebrated.

Your wedding day is a day to be remembered with gratitude to God for His grace and goodness in making the union possible. Marriage is a union ordained by God. It was first instituted by God in the early chapters of Genesis 1 and 2. The Old Testament prophets compared it to a relationship between God and his people. Jesus Christ explained the original intention and core elements of marriage, and several New Testament Epistles give explicit instructions on this union. As such, the church views marriage as a profound spiritual institution established by God.

  • Planning Your Wedding As a Catholic Bride and Catholic Groom
    Planning Your Wedding as a Catholic Bride and Catholic Groom As you make your plans for marriage, keep in mind that noble simplicity should be the order of the day. A service with the Eucharist (Mass) should run approximately one hour. Your guests will appreciate the brevity and the sacredness of the event. There are five basic parts to a wedding: The Procession, the Liturgy of the Word, The Exchange of Vows, the Mass (if acceptable), and the Recessional. Catholic Wedding With a Mass If you are both Catholic and wish to participate in the Eucharistic liturgy (the Mass), follow these simple guidelines. If one of you is not Catholic, but the Catholic party would still like a Mass, make sure that you have discussed this with the person performing your marriage before you proceed: Procession There are a number of ways to begin your wedding service with a procession down the aisle. There isn't one traditional way. The basic rule of thumb is, "Getting down the aisle is far more important than how you get down the aisle." The most common traditions for getting down the aisle are as follows: 1. Seating of the Mother of the Groom Seating of the Mother of the Bride (Lighting of the Taper Candles: This is used when a Unity Candle ceremony is included in the service. Often, the mothers of the bride and groom light the taper candles prior to being seated. However, this may also be done just before the Unity Candle ceremony). Procession of Wedding Entourage (ushers & bridesmaids) Procession of the Bride with her Father or Parent (as the Groom stands at the sanctuary) 2.

The concept was to repurpose, or give a new purpose to (Merriam-Webster, 2015), white paper for a wearable art wedding gown, particularly for use as a store display piece, but with actual wedding events also a possibility. Process, technique, and execution The repurposed materials included white copy paper, white and silver feathers from an earlier project, and remnants of nylon tulle.
