I was raised in an orthodox sephardic (Jewish congregation) but we were never terribly observant (we were more what I would call "traditional" in that we observed high holy days, and some others, but never kept kosher or went to the synagogue very often, other than for holy days, and some Shabbats)
The issue I am having now, is that I am trying to find an officiant for the wedding, my parents want me to go with an orthodox rabbi and ceremony, but I don't like basically what that ceremony means, and I don't like the wording of the marriage contract, but I don't think the rabbi that we're thinking of, will allow us to change those things.
It's important for my parents that we are married by a rabbi, FI could not care less, and I am on the fence, I want a rabbi, but I don't want the orthodox vows and marriage contract, I'd rather use a ketubah that's more along the lines of equality and love...
Any help or input is greatly appreciated!
