Getting married is the most wonderful experience that a couple can have during a lifetime after being single. Jewish Christian interfaith wedding gets to the nitty gritty of what it takes to do just this and to have an interfaith experience that is unsurpassed. There are a few things one needs to know in order for things to run smoothly and to avoid upsetting guests who for one expect that food passes kosher laws.
For guests that will be attending and who are of the Jewish faith, will expect that catering requirements have been included that caters for their kosher needs. Kosher embodies all those laws found in this religion that govern what may be consumed, what may not and how. If this is new to either one of the couple then time should be taken to familiarise oneself with it and preferably to consult a Rabbi.
Fish can be eaten with meat but no dairy products may. It is a simple law which is easily practiced but one needs to make sure that food being served is done so by a kosher caterer that has been certified and accredited to so so by a Beth Din or Court of Law. This court oversees the production of all foods and has a rigorous structure as to what may or not be eaten.
Again, one does not need to worry about this and it is advisable to leave all the preparations to a kosher catering company. Besides this it is well worth the while to get a Rabbi involved to answer any questions that may arise as to the procedure of the wedding. One may want to include a flavour from both faiths and if going the Jewish route, the couple may want to consider incorporating a Chuppah on the occasion.
Then there is the ceremony itself and the procedures that are adhered to even as it would be carried out for Orthodox Jews. Here again it is best to speak to a Rabbi who will be officiating the ceremony as to how it will run. One could include a Chuppah or canopy that is typical of a marriage ceremony and is a beautiful addition to be had.
A Chuppah consists of a prayer shawl strung up by four poles that the couple will stand under. It is a beautiful addition to any wedding and it can be decorated too with flowers and creepers running the length of the four poles. If one is unsure what this actually consists of it may be worthwhile searching it on the Internet to get a better idea.
If unsure of the intricacies a Rabbi should be consulted with. It is all a matter of choice but getting involved in the dos and do nots is advisable. Many guests will not be too phased about this but will enjoy the touches one has added from both religions.
The laws are extensive. With a little prodding in the right direction all will be overcome. It is a time to be enjoyed.
