Breaking Expectations and Celebrating Love Your Way
More and more couples are opting to join their lives together in a non-traditional wedding (in the case of my couple, K&R, a non-denominational wedding) while still incorporating traditional elements throughout their wedding day celebrated in their own way. Here are a few highlighted traditional Jewish elements my couple, K&R adopted in their wedding celebration.

The Signing of the Ketubah
It was so nice to be able to see this cultural tradition take place while perusing K&R's photo album by Emily Denny Photography! The Ketubah is a non-religious (although rooted in religious beliefs but doesn't mention any religious principles) set of documents under Jewish Civil Law. The Ketubah encompasses the duties, laws, rights, and protections the couple have and allows the couples to sign a mutual contractual commitment to one another.
A quick Google search landed me on Stephanie Caplan's website. Stephanie is a NYC Ketubah Artist and Calligrapher that offers truly modern ketubah for everyone, "from interfaith to orthodox & everyone in between."
