AVI BINUR: MERCY GATE בָּרוּךְ הַשֵׁם
Katie: We wanted a relaxed, fun wedding that really reflected us, our families and our backgrounds. Jay comes from a Jewish family and my mum is Filipino, so we incorporated elements of both cultures into our day, particularly into the ceremony. We wrote our own vows, which were a surprise on the day. We also incorporated a lot of handmade elements. My mum made the cake, all the desserts, my veil and my flower girl’s dress. We also handmade the invitations, the Chuppah, the place cards, the chalkboard signs and the favours.

Walang ligaya sa lupa na hindi dinilig ng luha.

Filipino Proverb: There is no earthly bliss not watered by tears.

Bnei Lot are of an ancient origin. In the migratory tradition of Ruth begun more than two millennia ago, a remnant of David and Solomon migrated into Maritime Southeast Asia which comprises what is now Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and Singapore, as well as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, with a sizeable minority of Malays migrating back to their tribal allotments in Sephardic Judah, besides Terrestrial and Figurative Jordan.
