Weddingbee boards

I am a Jewish bride- but my opinion doesn't matter- you and your fiance's opinions do!! The relatives that have a problem with it in a chapel will already likely have a problem that its a mixed ceremony anyway. You aren't going to be able to please everyone. I do think that having a chuppah inside the chapel would at least even it out a little. Its also a generational thing-- the older the relatives, the more likely they are to be offended typically.  Also- maybe having a ketubah on display (you can get ones with non-denominational or customized vows/prayers) could be nice.

Ketubahs, Ketubahs- There's so many options, its mind boggling. Be prepared, some can get pricey- average $150-400. As for displaying it at the church, you'll want to order a mat or specialty frame for it- otherwise its just a rolled up piece of paper. You can order them from many of the sites customized to fit your particular ketubah.

  There are many sites online- just google ketubah and you'll get a bunch

Once you find some designs you like, you need to make sure that the artist or company can put in text that you approve of- some options are:

Interfaith Text: Although some of our Interfaith texts are English only, most include a Hebrew introduction. Each artist has written his or her own Interfaith text, so there is a fairly large degree of variation in the wording that appears on different ketubot. The Interfaith texts make fewer references to the Jewish tradition and are suitable for interfaith marriages.

Secular Humanistic Text: The Secular Humanistic text is required by the Association of Humanistic Rabbis and the Leadership Conference of Secular and Humanistic Jews. There are two versions of the text: One is English only while the other is English with a Hebrew introduction. The Hebrew is a direct translation of the English text. Both texts are suitable for an interfaith marriage.

Write Your Own/Blank Text: This text option was created for those couples who love a particular design but wish to write their own text. It is also referred to as a custom text. The pricing for custom texts varies from artist to artist.

This is ours- http://www.galleryjudaica.com/Product.aspx?product=785  It was ordered from a local Judaica store though.

OMG, I just wrote this really long post for you and it disappeared...Grrrr. Let me try again. There's many sites online that you can order from, and there are many different text options (be warned- they are pieces of art, so they are not cheap. They average 150-450). If you google ketubah you will get many sites- here are a few:

One more piece of advice- Most sites sell customized mats for ketubot or special frames. Check them out. That way you can display it the day of.
