Modern Jewish Wedding Ceremony Traditions

"Although Chris and I come from different backgrounds, it was important for me to have a Jewish ceremony. Chris and I spent the months before our wedding meeting with my Rabbi, who worked with us to create a ceremony that incorporated the Jewish tradition, but was also authentic and meaningful to each of us," Sharon says of their modern Jewish wedding ceremony. "Even more special, the Rabbi made sure to incorporate Angie and Tyler into the ceremony—so it was something that we all felt invested in and part of as a family."
