Question

What is your wedding colors/theme?

Answer

Our colors are: Navy, Dusty blue, Ivory, Sage, Gold, & Silver/gray. Our theme is just a wintery theme, but as you have seen with our website,and a few other small things, we like to include nods and references to movies that the two of us have bonded over most, while still keeping our color palette.

Question

What can I do to help?

Answer

Honestly helping us prepare our home is one of the bigger things we need help with. How can i do that? Our registry is full of nessecities and wants for us to make a home together, and any little bit will help us a lot! But we could always use the help in supplying things here and there to make our wedding uniquely ours, so anywhere you feel you'd like to help, get with the Kallah (bride) and she can direct you from there! Huge Thanks to each and everyone of you! And of course your presence is the most wonderful gift to us, we love you all!

Question

What is a Ketubah?

Answer

It is the Jewish Marriage contract. The traditional and historical ketubah is a binding legal document, which catalogs a husband’s obligations to his wife, and makes provisions for her protection in the event of divorce or her husband’s death. Nowadays while the modern versions still follow that tradition, they are also a bit more personal, and slightly take after the traditional vows we're more familiar with. That being said, each Ketubah is different and fits each specific couple.

Question

Why does the Bride circle the Groom 7 times?

Answer

One answer is that, scripturally, the number 7 means perfection and completeness. If a match is truly from G-d then it is perfect, and once the bridgroom has joined with his bride they are now complete. “Therefore a man will leave his father and mother and remain with his wife, and the two will become one.” Eph 5:31

Question

What the purpose of a Chuppah?

Answer

The chuppah symbolizes the new home to which the bridegroom will take his bride. In this context, the appearance of the bride and groom together under a chuppah before an assembly who have come to witness the event is in itself a public proclamation by them that they are now bonded together as man and wife.

Question

Why does the groom put the ring on the bride's pointer finger?

Answer

The pointer finger is used so that she will more easily be able to show the witnesses that she received the ring, and because it is the most active finger, it may serve as a symbol that the ring is not accepted as just another gift but as an act sealing the most important transaction in life. It is later moved to the ring finger after the ceremony so that anyone else unaware of the old tradition, knows that she is married.
