“The huppah was admired by all - the Rabbi implored everyone to look at it, I discussed it in my toast to Erin and Michael - it was beautiful!,” wrote Jerry, the groom’s dad. Erin and Michael celebrated their wedding on a beautiful winter night under their hand-painted silk huppah, which includes three generations of family names.

See how this family treasure came to be:

...AS SEEN ON NETWORK TV!

NBC TV's show, "Chicago P.D.", contacted me for a ketubah to use on the set of a Jewish home. Sorry to say, these people were the bad guys. But, fun to see a reproduction of Jason and Carly Bradford's ketubah on their wall!
