The rabbi suggests that the couple select a Ketubah (marriage document) as part of the permanent record of the Wedding celebration.  The couple may select an appropriate Ketubah from a Jewish bookstore, the Internet, or other Judaic resource. The Rabbi personally recommends the works of Micah Parker. Please mention that Rabbi White referred you and that you would like the appropriate discount. The Ketubah used to provide an insurance policy for the bride.  Today, the Ketubah is an art form, and one’s choice of text for a proper, egalitarian Ketubah rests with the couple.  The rabbi will be glad to assist with choices and recommendations.  Once an artist-calligrapher is selected, (and Micah Parker’s team does some of the finest calligraphy and artistic work I’ve seen) the rabbi will work with the artist, providing Hebrew names, correct Hebrew dates, Hebrew insertions and required materials.  THE RABBI WILL ASK YOU FOR YOUR HEBREW NAMES AND YOUR PARENTS HEBREW NAMES.  IF YOU DO NOT REMEMBER OR HAVE OR KNOW YOUR HEBREW NAME THE RABBI WILL WORK ONE OUT WITH YOU.  THE RABBI WILL ALSO GIVE YOUR SPOUSE A HEBREW NAME. If your parents do not have Hebrew names we can either give them a translation or transliteration of their English name into Hebrew or insert that you are a child of Abraham and Sarah, Biblical parents of us all, or a child of Yisrael, a name often used to describe one who has become part of our community family.
