As many of you know an added element to a Jewish wedding is that both parties sign a marriage contract called a Ketubah. What you may not know is what on earth does all those funny looking words in another language mean. Ketubahs are actually written in Aramaic so many brides and grooms have no idea what they are signing either.

Below is a very rough translation of what this document says. When I was in school the ketubah class actually taught about 2 goats also being part of the divorce settlement. I didn't see that in the text that was translated. Which is a shame because I have always loved the idea of my husband being forced to give me two goats.

The blank lines are usually filled by hand by the Rabbi and the groom during the wedding, including the names of the couple, the date and location of the wedding, and the signatures of the witnesses. It's important to note that a non-virgin would be promised half the amount mentioned. Someone from a distinguished (such as the daughter of a king, a priest, or the tribe of Levi) family would be
offered more.

Translation of the Orthodox Ketubah text

On the ______day of the week, the _________day of the month ______ in the
year five thousand seven hundred and ______ since the creation of the
world, the era according to which we reckon here in the city of
_________________ that ________ son of _________ said to this (virgin)
_________daughter of _____.

"Be my wife according to the practice of Moses and Israel, and I will cherish, honor, support and maintain you in accordance with the custom of Jewish husbands who cherish, honor, support and maintain their wives faithfully. And I here present you with the marriage gift of (virgins), (two hundred) silver zuzim, which belongs to you, according the the law of Moses and Israel; and I will also give you your food, clothing and necessities, and live with you as husband and wife according to universal custom." And Miss_____, this (virgin) consented and became his wife. The trousseau that she brought to him from her (father's) house in silver, gold, valuables, clothing, furniture and bedclothes, all this ________, the said bridegroom accepted in the sum of (one hundred ) silver pieces, and ______ the bridegroom, consented to increase this amount from his own property with the sum of (one hundred) silver pieces, making in all (two hundred) silver pieces. And thus said __________, the bridegroom: "The responsibility of this marriage contract, of this trousseau, and of this additional sum, I take upon myself and my heirs after me, so that they shall be paid from the best part of my property and possession that I have beneath the whole heaven, that which I now possess or may hereafter acquire. All my property, real and personal, even the shirt from my back, shall be mortgaged to secure the payment of this marriage contract, of the trousseau, and of the addition made to it, during my lifetime and after my death, from the present day and forever." _______, the bridegroom, has taken upon himself the responsibility of this marriage contract, of the trousseau and the addition made to it, according to the restrictive usages of all marriage contracts and the additions to them made for the daughters of Israel, according to the institution of our sages of blessed memory. It is not to be regarded as a mere forfeiture without consideration or as a mere formula of a document. We have followed the legal formality of symbolic delivery (kinyan) between ______the son of _______, the bridegroom and _______ the daughter of _______ this (virgin), and we have used a garment legally fit for the purpose, to strengthen all that is stated above, and everything is valid and confirmed.

Conservatives and Reforms often choose to include something called the Lieberman Clause. (in Jewish law a divorce can only be granted if the husband agrees; so this is a VERY important clause that gets around that problem.

The Conservative and reform Text uses the same text as the Orthodox (as
shown above), but adds at the end a paragraph. This additional clause
translates as:

And both together agreed that if this marriage shall ever be dissolved under civil law, then either husband or wife may invoke the authority of the Beth Din of the Rabbinical Assembly and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America or its duly authorized representatives, to decide what action by either spouse is then appropriate under Jewish matrimonial law; and if either spouse shall fail to honor the demand of the other or to carry out the decision of the Beth Din or its representative, then the other spouse may invoke any and all remedies available in civil law and equity to enforce compliance with the Beth Din's decision and this solemn obligation.

Having showers and rainbows, mostly of which are on the windward side, spring may be considered as the best season for having a Maui wedding. During this season the temperature at Maui is moderate, sometimes ranging from 60-85 and one can find whales spending time around it. One can witness fresh trees and shrubs having new growth with new flowers blooming. In Hawaii, the days become longer and in Kula, the Jacaranda trees with lavender and purple blossoms turn bright making the upcountry Maui a picnic spot.

Being much drier and less windy, the South Maui beaches are perfect for your Maui wedding. Because spring is off-season at Maui, at this time it is not so crowded except during Easter and Spring Break. In the month of May and October, booking for Maui flights and accommodations, in the whole year, are at their lowest prices as it has few visitors coming to this place during these months.

 

For families with children, summer is the busy season. People who really need to warm up and love warm weather, or live in cold climates may like to have a great time at Maui during summer. Generally, it is a dry time and has a tropical shower for a short span with a temperature ranging from 72-96. Everything seems to be in a full luxurious bloom and the days are accompanied with long twilight evenings which seem a perfect time for sunset beach Maui wedding. To avoid possible sunburns, which would ruin your wedding pictures, you may be required to wear hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and stay out of the sun between 10am and 4pm.

 

On Maui, Autumn is the second off-season of the year. During this season the prices on travel and accommodations become lower but the days seem longer and heavy. The temperature during the fall is at its height and one can witness the warmest days during this season at Maui. The deciduous shrubs and trees are covered with flowers which is slightly lesser than what it is during other season. But a Maui wedding in this season would cost you less as compared to in any other season.

 

If you want your dream wedding to take place during winter, then you must come to Maui in late march but the booking should be done in advance otherwise you may be required to pay high charges to compensate for less availability. Here, you experience day time temperature between 60 and 84.  

 

You can conjure the pros and cons of different season types at Maui and make your own selection of the season to conduct your wedding at Maui.

Children can add so much to a wedding day - from the ring bearer toddling down the aisle carrying a pillow with precious cargo, to the flower girl who sweetly perfumes your path to the altar by dropping tender petals in her wake. As special as you feel on your wedding day, you'll want even your littlest helpers to share in the feeling and know that you appreciate them.

To ensure that your young attendants are happy campers on the big day, you'll want to help them look their best and make them feel that they have an important role. Here are some helpful hints that you can put in practice, whether the child is your own or the child of a loved one. Follow these tips, and you'll help ensure the youngest members of your wedding party have a positive experience that they - and you - will remember for a lifetime.

Make her feel special

( SEE Flower Girl Accessories ~ Flower Girl Dresses ~ Flower Girl Jewelry )

Chances are you're not the only female in your wedding party who's doing something special, exciting - and intimidating - for the first time. Your flower girl or young bridesmaid is also experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime, princess-like moment, and may feel understandably nervous at the prospect of having all eyes on her as she precedes you down the aisle. Making her feel special, as if she is a little princess, will help boost her self-confidence.

Brides spend lots of time and energy picking out dresses for their flower girls and junior bridesmaids, taking into account not only how the dress will fit in with the look of the wedding, but how it will complement the wearer. Accessories are just as important, and the youngest members of the wedding party should have some small items to highlight their attire, just as every bride should.

Not only will jewelry enhance the look, it will be a keepsake of the day - look for pieces that are high quality (so that they will last a lifetime), but reflective of the wearer's age. Disney Precious Collections offers fine children's jewelry for girls that will be perfect for any wedding. The pieces are understated and elegant, but also feature the youthful spirit of beloved Disney characters - they make ideal flower girl gifts.

Keep her involved Children love being involved in life's big moments and decisions as much as possible. Keep your flower girl or young bridesmaid part of the decision-making process as much as possible leading up to your wedding day. In addition to involving them in fun things like wedding showers, putting stamps on invitations and hair and make-up trials, give your young attendants some options that they can choose from. Will she wear her hair up or down? With flowers, ribbons or feathers?

You can also give her options about what kind of flower girl jewelry she might wear. For a special surprise, you could show her examples of earrings, necklaces and bracelets from Disney Precious Collections well ahead of time, and then surprise her on the day of the wedding with the one she liked best.

To look through the jewelry options that can become treasured wedding memories for your junior bridesmaids and flower girls, visit preciousjewelrycollections.com.

Make your day child-friendly Though you'll feel like your wedding day is flying by, it can be a long day for the littlest members of your wedding party. Even the best-mannered kids get tired and out of sorts after hours of activity, so it's good to take that into consideration. You'll be in a whirlwind of excitement, so make sure that you have a trusted attendant who can help accommodate children's needs.

Think about scheduling your photos so that pictures with children will be taken first and quickly. They'll be energetic and happy, and if you can have the photos taken soon after hair and make-up are done, everyone will look picture-perfect.

Plan to have something special for youngsters - both wedding party members and young guests - at the reception. Consider offering kid-friendly menu items, or have separate entertainment like balloon animals, a toy box or a coloring station with crayons and a paper easel to keep kids happy and occupied while adults enjoy the grown-up activities at the reception. Keeping the youngest members of your wedding party happy on your wedding day will help ensure the day is special, memorable and enjoyable for everyone. (courtesy of ARA)

I truly believe that when you invite a guest to a wedding you should be treating them with the same hospitality that you would give them if you had invited them into your own home. With out-of-town guests this concept becomes even more important as you have not only invited them to your wedding; but they were kind enough to travel to a far off location to attend. I've compiled a list of 15 nice gestures that can be made to help your out-of-town guests enjoy their stay more.

1. Get a group rate at a nice hotel. This way they can all be together, mingle, and when you visit them they are all in one location.

2. Host a special out-of-town guests dinner to welcome them to your city/town.

3. Book a hospitality suite in the hotel the majority of guests are staying at. Fill it with snacks, drinks, magazines, newspapers, games for the kids, etc.

4. Hire a shuttle bus to take them to and from the wedding.

5. Offer them the opportunity to take a tour of the place they are visiting.

6. Create a welcome package that includes maps, information on local attractions, restaurant recommendations, and anything else you think they might find useful. Arrange with the hotel to have this package waiting for them in their room when they arrive.

7. Arrange for a gift basket or gift bag to be waiting in their hotel room.

8. Write them each a hand written card before they come to tell them how excited you are they will be traveling to attend your wedding.

9. If possible pay for all airline or hotel bills. Nobody expects this; but it is a very polite thing to do if you can afford it.

10. Purchase carbon credits in the guests name as a thank you for flying in to attend your wedding. This helps the environment and shows the guest how truly welcome they are. Have a card waiting for them in the hotel room saying "In honor of your joining us for our wedding we have off-set your travel by purchasing carbon credits in your name".

11. Host a little mix and mingle cocktail party in the hotel on the night your guests are arriving.

12. Get a hold of some discount coupon books for local attractions, shopping, and restaurants that your guests can use during their stay.

13. If you live in a city that is involved in the CityPass program then purchase them one. This will get them into various museums and attractions free. http://www.citypass.com/

14. Let the concierge at their hotel know the details of your wedding; such as where you are registered, the time-line, and where it is being held. This way if guests have questions the hotel staff is prepared with the answers.

15. if you live in the Greater Toronto Area area hire a Wedding Concierge® by Mindless Sophistication to oversea many of the above mentioned tasks and to field other requests your guests might have during their stay. A Concierge will personally be on call for your guests during their stay. Wedding Concierge® will be expanding to other cities so please be sure to ask if it's arrived in your city yet. http://www.mindlesssophistication.com/

• Ask the shows producer to give you access to some of their previous exhibitors.
  
• As a bridal show producer, it is my job to bring the brides to you.
  
• However it is your job to book these brides and make them yours!
  
• Follow up, Follow up, Follow up is crucial, it's where the gold is!
• Find a show who's main concern is bringing you the brides.
• Find a show who limits their categories to match the size of the show. If it's a 30 vendor show then be sure that there are only 3 like companies represented in your category. In other words 3 photographers etc. I do a 10% ratio.
  
• Find a show who's producer is hands on, and makes herself available to you before, during and after the show.
  
• Be honest, if you don't travel 50 miles for business don't say you travel.
  
• Way too many exhibitors are not assertive enough at shows, don't expect all the brides to come and talk to you while you sit behind your table. Be courageous and step out from behind your table and engage them. Don't sit during the exhibition you are representing your company, stand tall and be seen.
• Always be courteous and helpful. If you know that a bride is not a "match" for you, offer them a referral to someone who may be a match. Referrals are awesome, and they come full circle
  
• Email the brides instantly when you get home from the show, tell them it was nice to meet you today etc
• Have your own sign sheet and take notes of brides that you meet that day, they will be happy to hear that you remember them personally when you are doing your follow up calls and emails.
  
• Have a show special, or a booking gift if they book on the spot, lots of people need an incentive.
• Offer a door prize, always. The emcee usually announces the winner and your company, gives you a little extra exposure at the show.
  
• When was the last time you had over 200 people in your store at the same time, for the same length of time, on the same day, for the same reason?
  
• It is my job to bring you brides; it is your job to make them customers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Dont limit yourself.
