Ketubah question

When do you sigh the Ketubah? I dont want FH to see me before the ceremony... I definatly want him to have the wow look on his face when I walk down the aisle, so that being said I know it is usually signed before theceremony, can it be done as part of the ceremony? or after? any suggestions. Or do I have to wait to put my dress on put a wrap around my head and do it before hand?

I would check with the rabbi/cantor marrying you. It is usually done beofre the ceremony. We did it before the ceremony because we were seeing eachother before hand to take pics. Def. check with whom ever is marry you two. Best of luck.

Not sure... we're signing it b4 the ceremony too. Most Jewish weddings the bride and groom see each other b4 the wedding.

Check with your rabbi.

the ketubah is traditionally signed before the wedding ceremony and is then read aloud during the wedding ceremony.
remember, you have to sign the civil license at the same time you sign the ketubah.

i have been to a wedding where the bride was adamant about not being seen before the ceremony, so the signing was done during the wedding ceremony. (this is a rare instance)

check with your rabbi or cantor to ask what they would be ok with.
