Title
Houston Bride Marries Groom, While Rabbi Officiates On Zoom
Description
This article tells the story of how a Jewish couple living in Houston, Texas, adapted their wedding because of COVID-19 concerns. In order to have friends and family attend the ceremony, they moved the location to the bride's parents' home in Beaver Creek, Colorado. The Rabbi couldn't travel to the new location, so he officiated the wedding via Zoom instead. The couple also set up a live-stream for those who couldn't attend.
