Ketubah witnesses before God and all those present that on the Twelfh day of the
month of Sivan in the year five thousand seven hundred and sixty-seven, which
corresponds to the Third day of the month of June in the year two thousand
one as we reckon time here in Jackson, Michigan. the groom, Robert Reizner,
Baruch, son of Bernard and Alice Reizner (Dov and Chiah Tobeh) and the bride,
Maryann O'Coin daughter of Francis and Jean O'Coin, (Abraham and Sarah) entered
into the holy covenant of marriage. Standing under the Chuppah we said to each
other: As beloveds and friends we choose to walk life's path together. We
promise to share our joys and our sorrows; to talk and to listen; to appreciate
and respect one another, with trust and love. In the wholeness of our Love, in
the embrace of your Love, we, two separate sparks of the Divine, choose to join
each other on the soul's journey of life. We pledge to be equal partners, loving
friends, and supportive companions all through our life. We will value and
revere one another with honor and integrity as we create a loving future
together. We promise to create a fertile environment for each other's growth,
letting our roots grow deep and entwined, nurturing our dreams to grow and
flourish, helping each other become the people we are yet to be, determined to
be ourselves, and cherishing each other's uniqueness. We will create a closeness
that will enable us to express our innermost thoughts and feelings. We promise
to always be honest and open; to support each other through life's challenges;
to comfort one another through life's sorrows; to share with each other life's
joys. We will build a home together and fill it with laughter, empathy, faith,
imagination, trust, friendship, companionship and love. A home in which holidays
and traditions are celebrated in accordance with our Jewish heritage; a home
devoted to learning, charity and acts of kindness; a home where all are welcome.
We will build a family and provide for its physical and emotional needs. We will
teach our family courtesy and compassion and we will be role models for the
values we teach our children. May our lives blossom together, our soles woven
tight in the deepest intimacy. May we be ever mindful that our days together are
a gift from God, and ever grateful to awaken each day together
