J is for Jewish wedding customs and traditions.  One of the many customs and traditions in the Jewish religion and culture is that the Bride and Groom sign a ketubah, which is defined as a special type of Jewish prenuptial agreement or wedding contract.

It was always my understanding that both the Bride and Groom had to be Jewish in order to have a ketubah between them, and that document was signed before the actual wedding ceremony began.  A few years ago I was associated with a Jewish Bride and a Christian Groom, they signed a ketubah in front of their parents and wedding party members after the ceremony ended.  So, if you are a couple of two faiths, you may want to consider signing a ketubah as part of your interfaith wedding ceremony.
