Just a bit of background before I get to my concern/question:My shul is affiliated conservative, though in practive in is quite Orthodox - not regarding seating but certainly as far as those allowed to be on the bimah, reading the Torah, etc.We have a good relationship with our rabbi, who was raised Orthodox but certainly came to the shul with an idea in mind of wanting to do things differently and the synagogue at that point had the Conservative affiliation for at least two+ years.I recently sent him a link of the ketubah we like (which we'll get no matter what), and potential language. He emailed back that it was unacceptable because it was egalitarian. I didn't see that being the case when I reread it, but okay. I emailed back and said that I'd be okay with the Hebrew being the traditional Aramaic - after all, neither of us read Hebrew that well and really, we'd only see it as part of tradition. Our main concern would be the English, as this is what we'll see everyday and what is more meaningful for us. I've been urging that we need to sit down to start talking about the wedding, just in case we hit some snafus (such as this). Perhaps this will get the ball rolling. But I have to say I was a bit disappointed, as I wasn't expecting him to shoot down the language.Just curious if anyone else ever had any initial problems regarding their ketubah. I'm sure we'll come up with something suitable to all of us; as long as I get the English text that not so one-sided sounding, I'm okay with everything else.I only hope there aren't any other issues, like needing to do certain ceremonial things that neither of us intend to do (FI doesn't want to wear a kittel, but would be okay if he had to wear his tallit, etc.). Glad I still have a few months to plan.
