An Idiot’s Guide to Israeli Weddings

March 14, 2008 - 12:04 PM by

Been to an Israeli wedding before? I have. It’s a little different from what you might see at an American wedding, but not for the reasons you’re thinking. Attire, reception, gifts…

Dress in this country is casual and weddings are no exception. I can’t even tell you the last time I wore a tie since moving here, if it’s even happened once. This makes for an interesting learning experience at your first wedding.

“Hey, who let the homeless guy in??? (pause) Oh, that’s the groom??? How’s he gonna break the glass wearing Crocs?”

Ok, so maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. Although for some reason, it is virtually impossible to find a plain white dress shirt in this country. Apparently clothing manufacturers receive government incentives to print their white shirts with a dragon on the back. Future immigrants, bring dress clothes with you. Forget the ties.
