Adva Dadon sets the record straight: The truth behind the mishap at her wedding
A few days after their wedding, journalist Adva Dadon and actor Yadin Gelman have addressed the musical mishap that occurred during their chuppah ceremony.
Four years of a high-profile relationship, overcoming challenges, and raising a child reached their peak this past weekend when investigative journalist Adva Dadon and actor and Sayeret Matkal reserve soldier Yadin Gelman were married at an emotional event. Alongside the tears and excitement, one amusing moment occurred under the chuppah that became the talk of the day: a musical mishap at the moment of breaking the glass. Now, a few days after the celebrations, Dadon decided to set the record straight and reveal to her followers on social media what was actually supposed to happen.
Gelman, who was seriously wounded in the battle at Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7 and has since undergone a long rehabilitation process, planned an ambitious musical surprise for the breaking of the glass. His vision was to create a unique combination between the traditional verse "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem" and the Latin rhythm of international pop star Bad Bunny. However, in real-time, the combination did not connect as planned, creating a confusing lack of synchronization. The groom later admitted in an interview with "Guy Pines" with amusing honesty that "the combination did not work perfectly."
To restore honor to the musical idea and prove that it was a brilliant concept, Dadon uploaded a video from their living room where Gelman and the DJ recreate the moment accurately. In the video, Gelman is seen singing the traditional verse in perfect coordination with the Latin rhythm, proving to users that the original idea was very successful, even if the execution at the chuppah itself was a bit off.
This slight mishap was part of an especially emotional event, where the couple walked to the chuppah accompanied by their children: 6-year-old Ilan, Dadon's daughter from her previous marriage to journalist Gilad Shalmor, and two-year-old Yonatan, the couple's shared son. The romantic entrance was accompanied by singer Shuli Rand, who performed the song "Lev Lavan" ("White Heart") in front of dozens of friends, family members, and industry colleagues who came to celebrate with the happy couple.
