For that reason, one is expected to look for acceptable rituals like glass breaking, ring blessing and kissing to avoid offending some of your friends and relatives.

Consider sensitive issues which can offend either side. Certain phrases are disregarded in one of the reliance, and they need to be taken into considerations. Terming Jesus Christ in the Jewish religion is offensive, and they can accept words like God and The Lord. Ask the personnel taking you through the ceremony to avoid over quoting bible verses from the new testaments which can offend most of Jewish attendees.

Secure enough amount to cater for the occasion. This kind of nuptials is expected to be affordable enough since there is avoidance of most activities.
