The branches of two "family trees" join and mingle ~ the coming together of your two families through your marriage. The branches form a protective shelter of Love over the text of your ketubah, your promise to create a loving home in which you respect and cherish each other. Beyond the trees is a stone archway, Ancient and Eternal. It is the arch through which countless generations of Jews have passed. It is the Chuppah, the wedding vows, the exchange of rings and the tinkle of glass shattering underfoot. It is the pathway to your new Life together. Glimpsed through the branches and archway are the green hills and the blue skies of the Promised Land, your Married Life.
