Saturday · 1:00p
Pickup at Franklin Guest House
Home base
214 Franklin St, Brooklyn, NY 11222

Saturday · after pickup
The Ceremony
The Home of Pam & George

Gather beside Prospect Park in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. About an hour — prayers, vows, rings, and one glass smashed (we hope!).

Autumn, not a ballroom. Inspo for women and for men — and, truly, whatever you're comfortable with.

Welcome
Ari & Josh open the ceremony — a welcome, the shape of the afternoon, what this day means to them, and a few words on the marriage traditions they are braiding together from their respective faiths.

Readings
A poem — to be chosen; reader TBD.
A passage from Corinthians — version to be chosen; reader TBD.

One or two prayers from the Bahá'í tradition.
