The rabbit wedding

[lethargic_man]

It's been a while since we've had an adventures with the rabbits post. So what have they been up to all this while?

Well, mostly same old, same old. Here's Bar Navi giving a shiur to the other rabbits in the household:

But the most exciting piece of news is of course the wedding of the year, between Bar Navi and Jane. They held this immediately before the Wandering Jews event aviva_m and I hosted as part of our Sheva Berochos. All of the other rabbits in the household were guests (though none of the photos seem to have more than two or three in), as well as those who had managed to get to ours for Wandering Jews before Shabbos came in.

In this photo, you can see the happy couple at the right, along with Ginger and Monty, the other established rabbit couple in our household. The two white rabbits wearing taleisim are the witnesses at the wedding (and were a wedding present to us from curious_reader).

Under their chuppah, the rabbits exchanged ring equivalents. There's no insistence in Judaism upon a wedding being performed with a ring; it merely has to be something belonging to the giver worth above a certain value; which is most convenient when you're a crocheted rabbit with no fingers. So Bar Navi gave Jane a silver necklace with a silver carrot pendant; Jane gave Bar Navi a tallis clip also with silver carrot pendants. Here are the happy couple wearing them under the chuppah (with one of the guests visible in the background).

Of course, they had a kesuba for their wedding too, which you can see here, along with the becher used in the wedding service:

When you're a rabbit, your wedding bouquet (made, unknowingly, for the rabbits by someone at our wedding) can conveniently double as part of the wedding feast...

And here's a last photo before Shabbos of both happy couples:

Phew, what an exhausting day; time for rabbit bedtime [shot, of course, on another day]:

Thanks to Frauke Ohnholz as official rabbit wedding photographer; you can see full-size versions of all her photos here, along with a short video of us singing סִימָן טוֹב וְמַזֶל טוֹב to the rabbits.

Hilarious! I can see all rabbits I once made. Great photos! How did you make get the rabbit necklace and tallit clip and the small ketuba? I can't see a video. Is it somewhere else posted?

The necklace is a silver bracelet doubled up, with a silver carrot pendant, which I found on eBay, attached with a piece of silver from my broken Turkish puzzle ring; the tallis clip is a pair of earrings connected with a length of chain which was part of them, with a carrot pendant attached to each one. The kesuba is from this collection of scanned kesubos, printed out very small.

If you click the link at the bottom of my post to the photos, the first one is actually a video.

[curious_reader]

Strange it does not appear in my account. I looked at your other as well and it is the same. There are only photos.

[lethargic_man]

What link are you following?

[curious_reader]

I can only see photos in both of your account your dreamwidth and livejournal. There is no video.

[lethargic_man]

*sigh* There is no video here; you have to follow the link above, where it talks about the video.

[curious_reader]

Now I found it. It is not obvious that there a link. Thanks!

Have you seen my teddy bear with the bag pack on facebook? It is reading the school book my mouse was reading beforehand. They know their ABC and maths better than me by now.

Sorry, I could not log in for a while. I just figured out how to request a password. Dreamwidth appears more complicated than other websites. I had to redo the request twice.

Religious ceremonies with rabbits...

Isn't that Hare Krishna?

You already made that joke. ;^b (I'd link to it, but it was on Facebook, under your real name, and I'd assume you'd rather not have that tied to your DW handle.)
