A Ketubah signing is a meaningful Jewish tradition, where the couple, along with two witnesses, sign a beautifully crafted marriage contract. This document outlines the couple's mutual commitments, including promises of love, support, and faithfulness. In the presence of an officiant, the text is read aloud, and the signing formalizes the couple’s vows under Jewish law. Often intimate and reflective, the Ketubah signing represents a significant moment of dedication and is typically followed by the couple displaying the document in their home as a symbol of their bond.
