Modern Jewish Wedding Traditions II

Here are more details from Amy & Andy's wedding:

Ketubah signing and Badeken

Before the ceremony, we did the traditional ketubah signing (Andy’s groomsmen had a Wii sports tournament to determine which one of them would be the witness!) and the veiling (badeken). After we signed the ketubah, our rabbi had our parents physically hand it to us to symbolize that they bless the marriage. I’m not sure if this is commonly done, but it was a beautiful moment.



Ceremony: chuppah, circling, glass breaking
All that traditional stuff. It was pretty straightforward! Also, we each had both parents walk us down the aisle.

Sorry ladies, just saw this now. Our ketubah is from ketubahketubah.com, and it's called Blossom by Ruth Rudin. Hope this helps someone!
