Danny Katz: The wedding was delightful: a cross-cultural blend of the groom's Jewish heritage and the bride's Filipino background so at times it was like Hawaiian Theme-Night at a rabbinical convention. There was a ukulele wedding-march, a traditional chuppah-canopy, a Filipino candle-lighting ceremony, a Jewish wineglass-smashing ritual, and the bride wore a stunning headpiece of tropical purple flowers while the groom wore a stunning face-piece of Semitic regrowth-stubble.
Jodi: We decided to blend traditions from both of our cultures that we thought were important to have. My husband is Filipino and I'm Cuban, East Indian, Jewish, Irish, German, and Jamaican. We had Filipino, Jewish, and Hawaiian aspects in our ceremony. The ceremony included an explanation of the Chuppah, Shehecheyanu [a Hebrew prayer], honoring those not present with memorial candles [I had lost my dad to suicide, so it was especially hard emotionally not to have him there. Mark secretly handed me a tissue and whispered a joke to make me laugh to help me get through it.], a Filipino cord ceremony, a community vow of support, and a blessing of the wine. We also had an explanation of Yichud and the breaking the glass.
JULIET IZON-LEWIN: He had the ring on him all day and I never knew. Every time I look outside my bedroom window, it brings a smile to my face.
GRACE ORMONDE WEDDING STYLE: For the ceremony, they opted for soft candlelight and a chuppah with sheer white fabric and round floral bouquets. Juliet is Filipino-Italian and Mike is Jewish, so they made it a point to incorporate traditions from both cultures.

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.
