Kate and I are having a traditional Jewish marriage ceremony with a ketubah (Jewish marriage contract), aufruf (we'll be called to the bimah together to recite a prayer over the Torah the Saturday before our ceremony), and we'll be married under a chuppah* (wedding canopy).
Our chuppah is being made for us by our immediate family - parents, siblings, and grandparents. Each person was assigned a square (12" by 12") to decorate however they wish, which will then be sown together by Kate's mom to create the canopy. This weekend we got the first square from Kate's dad, John. It's absolutely gorgeous and it makes me so excited to see how the others will turn out!!!
I am posting quickly as my new printer is finishing up with the materials for tomorrow's workshop, otherwise I'd post a picture and explain a little bit more about the awesome Jewish traditions we'll be upholding in May. Can't wait until then!
*It's pronounced huppa
