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
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! Most of the ceremony is in English. Anything else like a Ketubah is too Jewish! There is a term Jew-ish can be found online in multiple Jewish websites.
Civil Marriage Ceremony
Civil marriage is a wedding that takes place with no 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. They completed it in advance and signed on the wedding day by an officiant with the authorization.
What’s important to you, your parents, your family is…to be married by a Rabbi.
