Former hostage Emily Damari, who survived 471 days in Gaza captivity, married her partner Danielle “Dani” Amit in Tel Aviv on Thursday night.
The “reverse wedding,” an Israeli trend in which the event begins with dinner prior to the ceremony, included fellow former hostages and close friends Agam Berger, Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher, Liri Albag, Danielle Gilboa, Omer Shem Tov, Keith and Aviva Siegal, and Gali and Ziv Berman.
Before the start of the ceremony, Damari, in a bespoke ivory double-breasted suit with wide-leg trousers, stood on a stool in order to lower the veil over Amit’s hair, grinning widely and kissing Amit under the veil before they walked down the aisle together.
Damari shared a photo of the moment in an Instagram story.
“Here’s the first story that caught my eye,” she wrote in the caption. “From behind I see [former hostages] Agam Berger and Liri Albag, so happy in my happiness and I just can’t explain to you in words what is going through my body thank you to the Holy One Blessed Be He on our miracle.”
