Jewish wording? (really? )

So I forward my e-mail sample of my invite to FH Aunt. and she replies back

'now that i can see it i really love it. if youre asking my opinion ill give one crumb...'united in marriage' is very non jewish terminology' just saying. not sure if that matters at all but other than that i love it. the colors are very pretty.

what does that mean?
I ask FH since he more a traditional jew then I am (considering my dad is greek LOL).

does any of the jewish bride know what that means???

My reply was 'Okay advise me on what is a more Jewish way of saying it?'

I haven't heard any response yet

I don't know why but your response cracks me up.

Seriously if you don't think it should be a certain way she should at least suggest how it should be!

Wish I could help you out but I'm not Jewish.

Can I hear the whole invitations wording.. maybe I can give you alternatives..

I kind of agree with the united in marriage thing

I was just looking at your invites. I love them. As a writer I think it flows great... But Im not Jewish so I'm not sure what would be so much better or how impt it really is.

Re: Jewish wording? (really? )

glad your situation is all worked out. as a jewish (reform) bride, this is the first i've heard of such a thing. my invitation reads:

_______ and _______
and _______ and _______
invite you to share in the happiness
as their families are united
through the marriage of their children

______ ______

&
______ ______

i like how it reads, so i'm sending them out as they are, but i'm curious to know what's wrong with the word united?

Re: Jewish wording? (really? )

Ridiculous IMO.

I think it's fine for jewish weddings. We used 'uniting' in our invites.

We have a weird aunt like that too who thinks everything is 'not jewish'

She gave me this angel candle that FH's grandma gave her because 'Angels are not jewish'

FH told her 'umm, aunt C...Jews invented angels'

LOL
