What to Expect at a Jewish Wedding

Feb08


There are many Jewish wedding traditions that you and your groom should prepare for if the faith is a part of either -- or both -- of your families.

As you plan your Jewish wedding, share basic Jewish wedding traditions with your friends so they know what to expect. Understanding the symbolism and meaning behind wedding traditions helps guests share the love and excitement you feel on your wedding day. Make your guests’ experience more poignant by explaining the specifics of Jewish wedding traditions.

Give friends the opportunity to ask questions about your faith and share specifics, such as whether or not male guests should wear a yarmulke for the wedding. While it may take extra time, helping your friends understand your faith and traditions will help eliminate awkwardness at your wedding. For instance, many non-Jewish guests may be unaware that men and women sit separately at orthodox Jewish weddings or that traditional Jewish weddings are generally formal occasions...
