Popping the Question!

After the groom pops the question, it’s now the bride’s turn to ask… her bridal party! There are many different ways to ask your best ladies to stand by your side on your big day. You can send an ask via post or over the phone, ask each bridesmaid individually in person, or gather your crew and ask all at once!

For me, I wanted to see the look on everyone’s faces and cherish the moment as a group. After searching high and low for spots that fit my desired ambiance and budget, I decided to host a brunch on my parent’s patio. I spent a lot of time planning and wanted to share my tips with the STG community!

Today on the blog we’re introducing our 1st gorgeous bride from our crop of 2019 Real Jewish Brides! Please give a warm welcome to Alexandra, who will be marrying Jordan on 26th May 2019 at The Grove in Cedar Grove, New Jersey.

Our Story

We met at a party in college – he was the social chair of his fraternity who wanted to develop a relationship with my sorority, and I was the vice president of my sorority who was hungry for a change of social scenery!

We developed a close friendship that quickly blossomed into true love, and spent our junior and senior year as a couple. We were long distance the year following graduation, gaining firsthand experience behind the phrase “absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

I then moved from New Jersey to Boston to be with Jordan and we have happily lived together for over three years!
