hand ceremony?

hand ceremony?

We are doing a hand ceremony before our vows. Our rabbi for one reason or another does not think he should read it ( I'm perplexed, but I respect his decision without question).

Should my FH and I read it line by line to eachother (by memorizing) or should our maid of honor and best man read it to us? Thanks

I would personally not trust that on such an emotional day I'd be able to remember the entire hand ceremony - that's just me.

You could either print out your portions on nice cardstock and read from it, or have your MOH and Best Man do it.

my priest said it right before our vows- it was perfect timing. If your rabbi wont do it, I would ask your MOH and Best Man to read it...or Both Moms maybe... Or Grandparents

we did it right before the rings - our pastors thought it would be nice since it's a blessing on your hands. We had an aunt and uncle who we look up to as a couple read it...they've been married for over 30 years and are just great people. there wasn't a dry eye in the church!
