The Chuppah

The chuppah in Toby and Riegan’s ceremony was handmade by Riegan’s grandmother Beatrice Lichter, and was first used in her Aunt Laurie and Uncle Donald’s wedding ceremony.
The Chuppah, or wedding canopy, is a cloth covering held aloft on four poles. The chuppah is symbolic of the first roof the bride and groom share together, representing their new home. There are no walls in this new home, encouraging the couple to follow in the ways of Abraham and Sarah, whose tent was always open to guests.
Riegan and Toby love to host parties at their apartment in New York. You should visit them some time!
