vibrant LGBT jewish wedding at forest friends in sierra madre (los angeles, ca)

Tova and JR have a magical bond. Their love is more than just their coupling: it’s the braids of deep bonds with their family and chosen family, gay and trans friends from across the country. This lovely community gathered in the forest cabins of Forest Friends in Sierra Madre, a kitschy place up in the Los Angeles mountains, and had a wild wedding — combining several Jewish traditions (badeken, ketubah, chuppah, blessings, glass breaking, yikud, Horah, yarmulkes) with a vibrant postmodern energy, resplendent with rainbow colors, neon, and sparkles.
