Need help on kiddush cup

stina93446

Hi everyone, My fiance is Jewish and we are writing our own Jewish/chinese ceremony. He has been extremely busy with work and has not been able to give input on the kiddush cup portion. He says that he doesn't want a prayer for it either. We're not doing any kind of religious aspects. What are the meanings of this wedding tradition? I looked stuff up on Google, but nothing is non religious....help, please!

The kiddush cup is a pretty symbolic, religious aspect.  If you really aren't going to incorporate in the way it's meant to and you say your not doing any kind of religious aspects in your ceremony, then why not leave it out entirely. There are plenty of other aspects you can throw in to still give some cultural meaning to your affair without invoking too much religion, such as the breaking of the glass at the end. My personal opinion...
