1. What should I expect at a Jewish Wedding?
Our ceremony will take place under the Chuppah, a canopy that symbolises the home we'll build together. It's open on all four sides, representing hospitality and inclusivity.
The ceremony will be a mixture of Hebrew, Aramaic, and English. The traditions speak to us joining our lives together, and we'll be receiving blessings from loved ones. The ceremony will conclude with us smashing a glass that we made together, immediately followed by a Hora (lively Jewish dancing) – we invite you all to join us!
