This is my first post on this board. I am not Jewish but I have a friend who is and she's getting married next year. I was reading her website and it asked for everyone to wear a kippah (male or female) and that she'd have them available for us to wear and keep (as well as lace for women). She also stated that appropriate hats would work for those who feel uncomfortable wearing one (i.e. top hat, bowler, or fedora, since her wedding is black tie optional). Now I personally will wear it out of respect of my friend and her religion but my DF (will be DH by the date of her wedding) wants to know why he has to wear one. As in what is the religious significance behind it? I couldn't tell him because I didn't know.
My DF is not comfortable wearing the kippah since he's:
A) not Jewish
not religious
but he would be willing to wear the hat. I may decide to wear a hat to make him comfortable what would be appropriate? A hat like they wore to the Royal Wedding (though definitely NOT like Princess Beatrice's...what was she thinking?!)?
