As a jewish couple getting married, one thing we must consider is what type of ketubah we want to have. A ketubah (Hebrew: כתובה ) is a special type of Jewish marriage agreement. It is considered an integral part of a traditional Jewish marriage, and outlines the rights and responsibilities of the groom, in relation to the bride. In more modern times, ketubahs also outline the responsibilities of the bride to the groom (as it is a equal partnership).
One requirement of the Ketubah is that is made beautiful and is decorated. So to that end we have been looking at http://www.ketubah.com/ to find Ketubahs we like. Marina looked first, and found about 25 of them, I looked after and added a few more. We are now discussing and trying to make a very hard choice, of which ones we like. As we know more, we will post.
Marina’s Selections:
Abstractions II
Love’s Mosaic: Emerald and Jade
Rothko – Blue
Abstractions
Ithaca
Eco
Kinetics of Desire
Love Song
Harmony III
Joyus Geometrics
Mystical Geometrics
Josh’s Selections:
Meant To Be – Teal
When the Day Blows Gently – Blue
You’re Within Me
Growing Together
Beloved II
Prosperity
Falling Blossoms
Op Fields
Moonfall
Update: Ketubah Selection (by Marina)
In the true spirit of cooperation, we narrowed our choices down to 2 mutually acceptable options: Rothko – Blue and Beloved II.
And then in the true spirit of making no logical sense, we realized that the best choice was actually neither one of those and chose Rothko – Red as our favorite. This kind of thing seems to happen a lot during wedding planning.
