Jewish Wedding Planning

Help Planning A Wedding with my Fiance of a different religion?

My fiance and I are having a small Florida wedding. He agreed to an episcopal (christian) wedding as I am not jewish and he is and he knew it meant alot to me to get married at this church. However, I’d like to tie in a few Jewish traditions into the ceremony to be more welcoming to his family. When I asked him what type of traditions are done at Jewish ceremonies, he said he didn’t have a clue as he had never been to a wedding and ours would be his first to attend (sad- but true).

I don’t know about Jewish/Christian weddings. I had an Atheist/Catholic one, which was interesting.

The second site seems a bit more to the point.
Hope I helped, enjoy your special day xxxx
