Marriage Contract

In the Jewish faith there is a marriage contract called a Ketubah, that defines the relationship in terms of commitment and financial aspects. Many couples today prefer o write their own contract reflecting their own joint perspective of their commitment, one to the other: The word Ketubah literally means "that which is written". It is a contract that a man makes with a woman, obligating the chatan (groom) to serve, cherish, sustain, and support the kallah (the bride) in truth.
This contract is separate from the marriage license and it is a very intimate ceremony that takes place prior to the wedding ceremony.

The contract itself has come a long way from plain old parchment. Check out Daniel Sroka's incredibly artistic work at Modern Ketubah - they are simply remarkable. So beautiful, something to definitely be cherished and framed, forever!

Thank you so much for mentioning my ketubah designs on your blog. If any of your readers have any questions about ketubahs (if they can get one, what kind of options they have, etc.), they should feel free to contact me.

Thank you,
Daniel Sroka
