In Jewish tradition, marriage is considered sanctification. The word for marriage, kiddushin , is derived from the root word, kadosh , holiness. One partner, set aside, consecrated to the other. However, a Jewish wedding is a gay and an informal event, with few solemn moments.
Invitations go out in Hebrew and English, including the Hebrew date and the Hebrew names.
The invitations go out in the name of both sets of parents, irrespective of the fact whether the costs are shared or not. Copyright 1999, JeevanSathi Internet Services Pvt.
