Your ketubah is a very meaningful and beautiful part of your wedding ceremony.  It represents your commitment to your partner and your shared values, and your vision for your future together.

Ketubah Ink will work with you to design a ketubah that reflects who you are as a couple.  You can choose from a range of existing text, or write your own to weave your intentions and commitment into your wedding ceremony. 

Ketubah Ink uses a variety of archival materials to ensure that your ketubah remains well preserved over time.  We will guide you through the process of designing your own unique, custom ketubah that you will feel proud to display at your wedding ceremony, as well as in your home. 

Please reach out for more details and questions about beginning the process of creating your custom, handmade ketubah.

A Multicultural Nigerian-Jewish Wedding at LJS and Dyrham Park, UK

Justin-and-Emma-Dyrham-Park-Hertfordshire-UK

We love it when a couple crafts a one-of-a-kind wedding that truly reflects both of their backgrounds and the life they’ve built together – which is exactly what London couple Emma, an investment analyst in finance, and Justin, who works as a senior manager in digital marketing, did.

Emma and Justin’s shared Jewish faith plays a central role in shaping the way they live, so it was only natural for them to choose to hold the religious part of their wedding at their beloved shul,  LJS in St. John’s Wood.

The next part of their day was focused on celebrating Emma’s Nigerian heritage: after the chuppah, everyone moved on to the reception and vibrant Nigerian cultural ceremony at Dyrham Park, a beautiful country house and golf club located in Hertfordshire. The Igbo-Arochukwu cultural wedding featured a wine carrying ceremony, a symbolic moment where the bride carries wine from her father to present to her groom, followed by the blessing of the marriage. The evening also included performances from Ekombi dancers, paying tribute to Emma’s maternal Oron-Nigerian heritage. Helen Weir captured the day so beautifully from start to finish – don’t miss her exquisite imagery!

Now over to Emma…

How We Met

Emma, the bride and Justin, the groom: We met towards the end of the Covid lockdowns, as restrictions began to ease in late 2021, through the dating app Hinge. Our first date was at the Patch Bar near Moorgate, where we ended up trying karaoke and exploring central London. The rest, as they say, is history! Continue ReadingContinue Reading
