Rachel and Scott's Chuppah: Monarch Butterflies

               


Rachel and Scott's wedding took place in the fall in New England.  Their ceremony was a very intimate, family occasion, but they celebrated with dozens of friends at a farm in New Hampshire.  This is the season when many monarch butterflies are emerging and taking flight on their remarkable migrations to Mexico.
 
Rachel and Scott wanted a simple chuppah which would symbolize the family and friends who supported and loved them as a couple.  I chose monarch butterflies to flutter lovingly over them, to symbolize the journey they were embarking on together and in the company of their community.
