Should a Wedding be Kosher?

Answer:
Why do we need to serve food at a wedding, in the first place? Can't you get married without eating? And indeed, why does every Jewish event involve food?

The answer: eating is our way of capturing a fleeting moment and internalizing it. By linking a holy event with a meal, we bring the spriitual holiness into our body.

Without food, the event would remain somewhat abstract. The food is what brings it down to earth.
___________
Physical food, is the bridge between matter and spirit, body and soul. Our soul is our life force; our body a lifeless shell. By eating, we connect our physical self, with its spiritual life force; we connect the soul into body.

If we didn't eat, our body would gradually disconnect from its source of life. It is food that creates the linkc between body and soul.
_____________
That's why we eat at a wedding. The Jewish wedding is a spiritual event. A holy light descends upon the souls of bride and groom, uniting them together as one.

We don't want this to be a fleeting moment, but rather we want to permanently absorb the spirit and energy of the day. This is achieved, by eating a festive meal.

Through eating food from a wedding meal, we absorb the divine light into our bodies, and bring the blessings down to earth, so that the holiness of the day, should influence the lives of the new couple, their families, and all present.
____________
That's why the food should to be Kosher. The Kosher diet promotes good circulation, between soul and body. If food connects body to soul, Kosher food ensures a smooth connection.

This is true of every meal -- how much more so, for a wedding meal. The holiness of a wedding, can only be captured, by food that is holy.

You hire a good photographer, to capture the scene of the wedding day; have a Kosher function, and forever capture the soul of the day.
