Jewish brides (or anyone) who printed 'I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine' on the invitation

Can I see how it looked? I'm trying to write it in interlocking rings between our names, but since I'm not an artist, it's hard for me to see how it would actually come out. I'm looking for other ways of writing it, too.
Thanks

I would like to put that on mine as well, so I'd love to see it too...

Are you putting it in Hebrew or English? or both?

I'm having only english on my invitation. FH is converting to Judaism, but his whole family (with the exception of an aunt or two) is not Jewish and they'll make up the majority of the invites.

ok.
i havent done my invites yet.
your idea sounds really nice.
Good luck!

How much Hebrew will you feel comfortable having in the ceremony? (something to discuss w/ your Rabbi)

I'm training to be a Cantor (1 year left!), so if you have any Jewish wedding questions, or want to know some good Jewish lifecycle resources, please feel free FM me.

Our ceremony will be 100% Jewish. My best friend will chant the cheva b'rachot. And, either the rabbi or someone we need to dish out an honor to will read it in english. Our ketubah will be printed one side in hebrew (with two traditional signers) and the other side in english (with two non-traditional signers). All speaking will be in English, but prayers and maybe our exchanging of rings will be in Hebrew followed by English. No one in either one of our families understands Hebrew.

Any help would be appreciated.

Rabbis and Cantors have manuals with preprinted ceremonies in them. Some also put together their own and they can also always be creative to suit the individual couple's needs.

Everything depends on which 'branch' of Judaism you affiliate with and/or on who your Rabbi or Cantor are.

Your ceremony and ketubah can vary from being very traditional- to very liberal (egalitarian).

When you meet with your officiant for your pre-marital meetings, this will all be figured out amongst you, your FH, and your clergy person.

some helpful resources: the traditonal interpretation: A Guide to Jewish Religious Practice by Isaac Klein
the liberal (Reform) interpretation: Jewish Living by Mark Washofsky, Meeting at the Well, and Beyond Breaking the Glass- both by Rabbi Nancy Wiener.

If you want some good ideas for wedding music, look at Kol Dodi published by Transcontinental Music. It has 2 CD's that you can buy to accompany it. It has a huge range of music.

Thanks. I actually am covered in all of those areas. I really just wanted to see how other brides were writing this on their invites.
