So today we go to an appointment with our Rabbi, whom we booked in October and after waiting for two hours for the couple before us to finish he tells us that he has bad news for us!!!! He says that our hall is not kosher enough for him and he's not going to be able to perform the ceremony!!!!!! I was shocked!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean we told him when we booked that the hall is not kosher and he said its fine!!!! And now he's telling us that he can't do it???? Apparently we were unreachable for the past 7 months since we booked him!!!! So now 7 weeks before the wedding we have to find a new rabbi!!!!!! I'm sorry but I don't even know what else to write I'm just boiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I dont get is why the hall has to be Kosher????
All he is doing is marrying you, not wiping the bacon on his forhead.
I have been to many jewish weddings (im jewish) and have never heard of such a thing!

WE booked a new rabbi; he's not as strict as the first one. He was very nice and accommodating, we really enjoyed our meeting with him and booked him on the spot. I'M SOOOOO HAPPY THIS DRAMA ENDED AS SOON AS IT BEGAN!!!!

Well the Kosher thing makes sense. Technically u cannot get married at a non kosher place. A strict orthodox Rabbi could not marry u there. However, knowing this was an issue we told him that we do not have kosher food right from the start thats Y this wasn't a problem. But thinking back on our convo on Sunday something didn't seem right with his excuse! He didn't remember who we were, couldn't find our documents and them was like ye BTW I just remembered ur place wasn't Kosher enough so I can't marry u there but I have lovely alternatives like marrying u at the synagogue or just switch to a new hall... Like it's even an option a few weeks before!!!!!!! And he was like the hall advertises itself as non-kosher and thats the main problem. Well duh if we're not having Kosher food, Y would the hall advertise itself as something its not!!!!!! Anyway the whole thing was just bizarre!!!! I just forgot how disgusting these super orthodox fanatics can be and I'm happy we ended up going with a more lenient t and liberal approach!!!
