Our son got married! What's a Bruderhof wedding like?

Hi friends! In this video, we're answering questions about weddings at the Bruderhof. The topic is fresh in our minds, as we celebrated our eldest son's marriage in January. (Thanks, Maddie and Jordan, for letting us share some pictures and video from your special day!) So: What's a Bruderhof wedding like? How do wedding celebrations at Bruderhof communities differ from mainstream culture? What do the bride and groom wear for their wedding? Is there a reception? What about gifts? All is revealed in this video - enjoy!

As mentioned in the video, here's a link to Norann's recent substack on Bruderhof weddings: https://seasonsofcommunityliving.subs...

About us: We're a married couple who live at Danthonia Bruderhof, a Christian community in northern New South Wales, Australia, and enjoy discussing our faith, family (we have three grown sons), and the day-to-day adventures of life in "the bush". Also, occasionally, food - Norann's cooking is legendary!
