Spiritual Wedding is Just Right!

Spiritual Wedding with a Civil Marriage Ceremony

Spiritual Wedding is a simple ceremony with a little heart, a little romance, and the belief that there is something greater.

Spiritual Wedding

Spiritual Wedding 
It is for couples who culturally connect to their Jewish roots, but more secular.  It could be only to break the glass, share the wine with this one blessing in Hebrew.  That’s it!  The majority of the ceremony is in English. Anything else like a Ketubah is too Jewish!  There is a term Jew-ish that has been written about online in multiple Jewish websites.

Civil Marriage Ceremony  
Civil marriage is a wedding that takes place without any religious affiliation and meets the legal requirements of the locale.  The locale is where a wedding couple applies and receives this marriage license or marriage certificate.  It is completed in advance and signed on the wedding day by a registered officiant.

What’s important to you, your parents, your family is…to be married by a Rabbi.

  • How long is the ceremony?
    • I am often asked this question.  A spiritual wedding with a civil marriage ceremony is based on each couple’s requests.
  •  This type of ceremony is also known as a micro wedding or mini wedding (minimonies)?
    • Micro Wedding (microweddings): is when a couple will have their parents, an officiant, and a wedding photographer.
    • Mini Wedding (minimonies): are for couples that choose to have around ten to twenty guests. A blend of family and friends including the wedding photographer.
