Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid accompanied Victoria and Gary, who are getting married today, as they went to the ballot box. The soon-to-be-married couple are both declared Yesh Atid voters.
Victoria and Gary, both 35, live in Ramat Pinkas and are getting married later today in Ness Ziona.
“It’s important for us to vote for our children’s future before we get married so we voted Yesh Atid. We believe that Yair Lapid and Yesh Atid is the way forward for our country,” they say, according to a statement from the party.
Lapid congratulates them on their choice as well as on their nuptials: “It’s so exciting that you chose to start your wedding day like this. Just before the wedding I’ll be with you on your way to the voting booth, excited to meet you and happy that you are voting for Yesh Atid. A vote for us is a vote for a better future for us and for your children.”
