"Explains everything you need to know to plan your own Jewish wedding in today's ever-changing world where the very definition of what constitutes a Jewish wedding is up for discussion. Provides choices for every stage of a wedding--including celebrations before and after the ceremony itself--providing both traditional and contemporary options. Explains the Jewish tradition of love and marriage with references drawn from Biblical, Talmudic, and mystical texts and stories. Guides you step by step through planning the ceremony and the party that follows--from finding a rabbi and wording the invitation to organizing a processional and hiring a caterer. Samples of wedding invitations and ketubot (marriage contracts) are provided for inspiration and guidance, as well as poems that can be incorporated into the wedding ceremony or party and a variety of translations of traditional texts."
