Ketubah (marriage contract), Jerusalem, Israel, 2002. on paper.
This ketubah was created by American born Israeli artist and calligrapher David Moss for the marriage of his son Yonatan. Moss was among the first artists to renew the tradition of hand-written and decorated ketubot. He has served as an inspiration and mentor to many artists who have continued the work that he began and still continues to do.
In contrast to those of the past, modern ketubot are quite personal and designed specifically for a particular bridal couple. This ketubah is no different. Its theme is Creation. It evokes the relationship of God to his creation and the relationship of all beings to their Creator. With this theme the artist has merged the Talmudic background of the groom with the interest of the bride in Jewish ecology. The leaves and flowers that surround the text suggest the Garden of Eden and the bottom blue cartouche contains a quote from one of the 7 blessings recited at a Jewish wedding ceremony that connects the couple to Eden. Framing the entire document is an ancient midrashic text called Perek Shirah. In it all elements of creation from the sun and the moon to all the animals praise God, each in its own words. Written in micrography, Moss also painted a tiny image of each creature placed next to the passage in which it is mentioned. x

Valyrian Wedding Rituals & Its Parallels
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ā€œAmong the people who came to inhabit Northumbria and the Lothians, as well as among other Germanic peoples, the nuptials were completed in two distinct phases. (ā€¦) The parties plighted their troth and the contract was sealed, like any other contract, by a hand-shake. This joining of hands was called handfƦstung in Anglo-Saxon, and the same word is found in different forms in the German, Swedish and Danish languages. In each it means a pledge by the giving of the hand.ā€ Handfasting' in Scotland - The Scottish Historical Review; Anton, A. E. (1958)
ā€œIn ancient Rome, a wedding was a sacred ritual involving many religious practices. (ā€¦) In a Roman wedding both sexes had to wear specific clothing. Men had to wear the toga virilis while the bride to wear a wreath, a veil, and a yellow hairnet.ā€ Women's Costume and Feminine Civic Morality in Augustan Rome; Sebesta, Judith Lynn (1997)
ā€œ When the terms of the ketubah were accepted a cup of wine was shared to seal the marriage covenant. (ā€¦) The bride and groom shared the same cup, symbolizing the shared life that would be theirs. (ā€¦) Wine in Judaism has always symbolized joy. (ā€¦) Wine also symbolized blood. The marriage covenant is a blood covenant in the eyes of God. Two lives become one in a lifelong commitment.ā€ The Ancient Jewish Wedding; Lash, Jamie (2012)

Things we learned about the character Beetlejuice in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Spoilers below: 1. He's actually Italian. 2. His cause of death was poisoning. 3. He told the truth about having lived through the black death. 4. He's six-hundred-years dead. Age at the time of death unknown. 5. He married a soul-sucking succubus cult leader and somehow thought it would be fine. 6. He was a grave robber (and apparently didn't wear shoes). 7. His plan for a "Green card wedding" has now grown into an unhealthy infatuation / obsession with Lydia. 8. He's multi-lingual. 9. He's familiar with Russian literature. 10. He knows how to open a portal to Hell or Hell-like dimension. 11. He now has minion who are apparently all victims of the witch doctor we saw in the waiting room at the end of the first movie. 12. Beetlejuice now canonically loves a good song and dance number in every incarnation of the character from the movies, to the animated series, to the Broadway musical, to his appearance on Teen Titans Go. 13. He is well-versed in the many corridors of The Afterlife Social services office. (Is the Netherworld all one building in the movies? It was an entire dimension in the animated series where it was called Neither World). 14. He's actually really good at dividing his attention. (See the Wedding scene). 15. Beetlejuice has a weirdly romantic side and really wanted MacArthur Park to play at his wedding. 16. Beetlejuice is familiar with the German legend of Faust. (Note the contract signed in blood. (Who would have guessed he actually has some sense of culture???) 17. There's a very high chance Beetlejuice was born Jewish. He says L'chaim at one point in the Beetlejuice Broadway musical and Mazel tov in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
18. Beetlejuice's mortal marriage was definitely not Christian or Hebrew. The ceremony had him and his bride drink each other's blood, bite the heads off chickens, and sacrifice a goat. 20. Beetlejuice has a sense of justice, as twisted as it may be, going out of his way to show Lydia Rory's true nature, and sending the ghost to Hell (or a Hell-like dimension) that tricked Astrid. I'm starting to feel like the version of Beetlejuice from the animated series is the most "accurate" depiction of the character, as weird as that sounds. Since the movie version has shifted to be more like him and the Broadway musical version feels like a prequel to the cartoon.

Torah ark curtain by Simhah, wife of Menahem Levi Meshullami.
From Venice, 1680/81. Embroidered with silk and metallic thread; metallic fringe. 216.1 Ɨ 140.1 cm.
This is an extraordinary Torah curtain because of its impressive size, beautiful workmanship, and unusual iconography. The dedication at the bottom reaffirms the significant role played by Italian Jewish women in the creation of synagogue textiles, even among very wealthy and prominent families such as the Meshullami, one of the first Jewish families to settle in Venice.
What is unusual is the detailed representation of Jerusalem, unique in Torah curtain iconography, but common on another type of seventeenth-century Italian Judaica, decorated ketubbot. Since the Italian Jewish marriage ceremony includes the recitation of Psalm 128, which mentions Jerusalem, and remembrances of the city's destruction conclude every Jewish wedding, depictions of the city were appropriate to the decoration of the contracts displayed at the ceremony, creating an iconographic link between two forms of Judaica prominent in the lives of women.

You know Stede is going to be sooo picky while he and Ed shop around for their ketubah (very pretty Jewish marriage contract that you sign at your wedding, modern ketubot especially are not just compliant with Jewish law but also an awesome way to keep and display some of your wedding vows). Ed's going to be pretty easy to please, there's no shortage of amazing designs out there, and Stede's been so amazing about him wanting to incorporate a lot of Jewish wedding traditions into their wedding that his only firm line is he's going to want one with both Hebrew and English script so Stede can read it, too.
But Stede is going to take this sooo seriously. It's going to be the first thing they hang up in their home after they get married! It's a big deal, EDWARD! His shortlist is twenty-five design options, and that's even before they look into customizing the text on their design, especially now that so many websites offer ketubot written for queer couples in addition to the traditional text. He's always loved Ed's Jewishness but now he's so anxious about getting the Hebrew dates right and everything. And Ed knows this is just a manifestation of Stede's nerves about the wedding in general so his strategy is to just let him work himself out, but eventually Stede starts getting super nitpicky about the Hebrew font choice too
So Ed has to sit him down and be like. "Stede. Babe. Love and light of my life. You cannot read that no matter what font it's in and I promise it looks fine"

Monica Belluci
Monica Anna Maria Bellucci was born on September 30, 1964 in the Italian village of CittĆ  di Castello, Umbria, the only child of Brunella Briganti and Pasquale Bellucci.
Monica grew up in a family of a farmer (father) and artist (mother). Her father likes to speak about his daughter and recollect in his mind her early years. He tells that Monica was so beautiful that the chef of the restaurant, where they had dinner, once refused to take money from them.
Teachers admired the young beauty and one of them had even drawn her portrait.
Monica started her career at the age of 13 as a model posing for the local photo enthusiast.
Later she moved to Milan fashion center where she signed a contract with Elite Model Management. Apart from Milan fashion she also posed for Dolce and Gabbana and French Elle.
Monica Bellucci is a secret dream for many men all over the world and of course, she had numerous love affairs. But the star was officially married just twice.
Her first husband was Claudio Carlos Basso. He was a fashion photographer and they got acquainted, when Claudio made photos of the godlike woman. They dated for a year and then got married on the 3rd January, 1990. Four months later they filed for divorce and finished that short unimportant marriage.
Monica Bellucci got married in 1999 for the second time. Her marriage with an actor Vincent Cassel served as a sample to many other celebrities for many years.
Vincent Cassel (3 November 1966) is a French actor. He became well known in France via his role as Vinz, a troubled French Jewish youth, in Matthieu Kassovitzā€™s 1995 film La Haine (Hate), which gave him two CĆ©sar Award nominations.
The couple got acquainted at a film set as French actor Vincent Cassel and Italian actress Monica Bellucci appeared in several films together. They wedded on the 3rd of August, 1999 and then gave a birth to two great talented daughters, Deva (born on the 12th of September, 2004) and LĆ©onie, born on the (21st of May, 2010)
Vincent and Monica lived apart even when they were married. Monica tells, they tried to avoid marriage routine and thatā€™s why lived in separate apartments. But it didnā€™t work and one of the most beautiful couples in the world got divorced in August, 2013.
Monica Bellucci was an extremely beautiful girl from the very childhood. If you think now, that the beauty of this elegant woman is a result of plastic surgery, you should just look at some of her childish photos. The star had full lips, big eyes and tender figure.
MONICA BELLUCCI MARITAL STATUS:
Divorced
MONICA BELLUCCI HUSBAND:
Claudio Carlos Basso (1990-1994)

I donā€™t know if anyone has requested it yet, but could you please write a chapter about Freddieā€™s and Rosieā€™s second wedding? Can it please be a Jewish wedding?
Wish you all the best sweetheart šŸ˜Š
Tumblr media
by popular demand, here is an excerpt from freddie and rosie's second wedding. it's only really a glimpse (sorry!!) but it felt right to me to keep it short and sweet. hope you don't mind!!
below the cut <3<3<3
Freddie was nervous. More nervous than sheā€™d been for her first wedding. Alma had been right back then to advise her to enjoy the first one because the second would come with its fair share of stress; with a crowd gathered of Rosieā€™s extended family, all of his friends, their friends from the war, and Freddieā€™s parents, there had been a fair share of stress just organising the event, let alone preparing to walk down the aisle in front of everyone.
Freddie knew that sometime soon Rosie would be overseeing the signing of the ketubah, the ancient, traditional Jewish marriage contract. As far as Freddie could understand it, the ketubah laid out the groomā€™s commitments to the bride and was signed by two appointed Jewish witnesses who were not blood relations of either bride or groom - Rosieā€™s rabbi from when heā€™d been growing up and one of his childhood friends were signing theirs.
After that Freddie would see Rosie for the first time in a whole week - his mother had been insistent that they follow tradition as much as possible, since they werenā€™t able to have an official Jewish wedding by virtue of the fact that Freddie wasnā€™t Jewish - for the badeken ritual, where Rosie would cover her face with her veil.
She was itching to see him, but overcome with nerves for all of the ceremonies which would happen after.
ā€œFred,ā€ Millie said from the other side of the room, exhaustion in her voice, ā€œplease stop pacing.ā€
ā€œI want to see Rosie.ā€
ā€œYouā€™ll see him soon enough.ā€
ā€œā€˜Soon enoughā€™ isnā€™t soon enough,ā€ Freddie retorted. Though she was immediately aware of how stupid that sounded, she powered on, ā€œI havenā€™t seen him in a week.ā€
ā€œJohn and I were apart for more than a year during the war,ā€ Millie reminded her calmly.
Freddie floundered for something to say to that.
ā€œCan I just talk to him?ā€ Freddie asked at last. ā€œWe donā€™t have to look at each other or anything, I just want to hear his voice. Please?ā€
Millie considered Freddie for a moment before rolling her eyes affectionately. ā€œAsk your mum when she gets back with the dogs. I donā€™t want to be held responsible for ruining wedding traditions.ā€
Freddie breathed a laugh. ā€œMaybe you could take a note to him for me asking whether itā€™s okay? If he doesnā€™t want to risk breaking tradition thatā€™s okay, I just -ā€ Freddie sighed and resisted the urge to fiddle with her hair - her mother had gone to such an effort to make it look perfect for her. ā€œI just know Iā€™d feel a lot more at ease if I could speak to him.ā€
Millie laughed and pushed herself to her feet. She crossed the room to Freddie, then took her time adjusting the veil pinned to her hair, making sure it was sitting straight. ā€œAsk Alma,ā€ she whispered with a grin.
Alma returned a short while later with Earnie and Bruno on their leads - they were both set to be bridesmaids of sorts while Meatball was one of Rosieā€™s groomsmen - and she took one look at Freddie before shaking her head, knowing what she was about to ask.
ā€œI just want to talk to him!ā€ Freddie hurried to reassure her. ā€œWe donā€™t need to look at each other! It can be through a door, even. I just want to hear his voice.ā€
Alma sighed, easing the door to the brideā€™s waiting room shut behind her and letting the dogs back off their leads. ā€œGet Millie to ask first,ā€ was all Alma mustered in reply. Truthfully, sheā€™d had to endure Freddieā€™s complaining about not being able to see Rosie for the last seven days and she had no energy left to argue with her anymore. ā€œIf Rosie says itā€™s okay then itā€™s okay.ā€
Millie hurried away to the groomā€™s waiting room, exchanging a grin with Freddie over her shoulder.
Freddie bent to the floor to fuss over Earnie and Bruno.
ā€œWatch your dress!ā€ Alma warned.
Freddie laughed to herself and gave the skirt of her dress an affectionate pat where it rested over her thighs. She had finally gotten a wedding dress of her own and she was nothing short of obsessed with it - ruched fabric over the bodice, tulle capped sleeves, and a long flowing skirt with intricate detailing around the hem. She couldnā€™t wait for Rosie to see it. Better yet, she couldnā€™t wait for Rosie to take it off of her.
Dutifully, Freddie rose back to her full height to avoid getting any imaginary dirt from the hardwood on her dress, then fiddled with her hands as she waited for Millie to return. The day outside was warm and bright, the sunshine spilling generously through the roomā€™s solitary window. A perfect day for a wedding, only just about six months after their first.Ā 
Millie was out of breath when she returned. ā€œHeā€™s going to come here,ā€ she informed them. ā€œAnd youā€™ll be pleased to know that the rabbi is allowing it. He just said you two canā€™t look at each other, so Rosieā€™ll be staying behind the door.ā€
ā€œDo not open it,ā€ Alma warned Freddie with a hard look in her eyes. She knew how much it meant to Rosieā€™s mum that they follow tradition in spite of Freddieā€™s not being Jewish.
ā€œWouldnā€™t dream of it,ā€ Freddie assured her.
Millie picked up Earnie and Alma rehooked Brunoā€™s lead, then the four of them promptly fled the scene to grant Freddie and Rosie their privacy.
Freddie dragged a chair to the door to sit on while she waited.
She was only twiddling her thumbs and fiddling with the ends of her hair for a couple of minutes before a knock sounded on the wood beside her. ā€œFred?ā€
ā€œRosie!ā€ Freddie exclaimed. All of a sudden she felt she could breathe again.
Rosieā€™s smile was audible in his voice when he next spoke. ā€œHi, baby. Howā€™re you doing?ā€
Freddie smiled and shut her eyes, leaning her temple against the door to feel closer to Rosie. ā€œNervous,ā€ she confessed.
Rosieā€™s quiet chuckle was muffled but it made Freddie smile all the same. ā€œMe too.ā€
ā€œIā€™m really excited to get to marry you again,ā€ she said, and now she was fiddling again. ā€œItā€™s just all the attention, I think. It was so private last time, and this time thereā€™s going to be so many people listening to us and watching us. And Iā€™m worried Iā€™m going to do something wrong and upset one of the traditions. I want to get it all right.ā€
ā€œIā€™ll be right there with you the whole time,ā€ Rosie reminded her softly. She heard a quiet thump as he rested his head against the door, too. ā€œAnd it doesnā€™t have to be perfect. I wouldnā€™t want it to be perfect. Itā€™s supposed to be fun.ā€
Freddie sighed, swallowing hard around the sudden lump in her throat. ā€œI really wish I could hug you right now.ā€
Rosie sighed quietly. He wished the same. ā€œFredā€¦ā€ he said.
ā€œNo, I know,ā€ Freddie rushed to reassure him. ā€œIā€™m being silly and I know I am. I just miss you a lot.ā€ Seven whole days since sheā€™d last seen him, hugged him, kissed him. It was way too long.
ā€œYouā€™re not being silly,ā€ Rosie disagreed. ā€œDo you wanna push the ceremony back a while? We can sit and talk ā€˜til you feel better.ā€
ā€œNo, itā€™s okay.ā€ Freddie smiled to herself. Sheā€™d never once doubted her choice in husband but he proved that heā€™d been the right one about a thousand times a day. ā€œThank you, though. I love you so bad.ā€
ā€œI love you too,ā€ Rosie told her. ā€œAnd I miss you so bad.ā€
Freddie laughed quietly to herself. ā€œMaybe we should be pushing this whole thing forward instead of back. I donā€™t think I can wait any longer before I get to hug you again.ā€
Rosie laughed along with her but he was prevented from replying, interrupted by hurried footsteps and then the voice of his mother. ā€œThere you are!ā€ she exclaimed upon finding her son sitting on a folding chair in a hallway, his head resting against the wooden door beside him. ā€œWhat are you doing?ā€
ā€œTalking to Fred,ā€ Rosie told her. ā€œWe havenā€™t looked at each other, donā€™t worry. The doorā€™s been shut the whole time.ā€
Freddie couldnā€™t see it but Rosieā€™s mother was smiling. ā€œHi, Freddie,ā€ she called through the door.
Freddieā€™s smile was audible as she called back, ā€œHello!ā€
ā€œDoing alright?ā€
ā€œBetter now!ā€
Rosie and his mother exchanged smiles.
ā€œIs it alright if I take Robbie off your hands now?ā€ Rosieā€™s mother ventured carefully. ā€œThe rabbi wants to start the signing of the ketubah but we can postpone for a while if itā€™d make you feel better.ā€
Freddie would have banged down the door and jumped into both her husband and her mother-in-lawā€™s arms if she didnā€™t care so much about honouring the Jewish traditions. Instead, she smiled and laid one of her palms on the door. ā€œItā€™s okay,ā€ she replied at length, ā€œIā€™m feeling better now. We can start.ā€
ā€œIā€™ll go find your mother and maid of honour, Freddie, while you two say your goodbyes,ā€ Rosieā€™s mother answered her.
Rosie was grinning as he watched her retreat.
ā€œI love you,ā€ Freddie said when she could no longer hear footsteps outside the door.
ā€œI love you too, honey,ā€ Rosie assured her. ā€œSo, so bad. I canā€™t wait to see you.ā€
ā€œIā€™m so excited to get to walk down the aisle towards you again,ā€ Freddie confessed.
Rosie was grinning. ā€œIā€™m so excited to watch you walk down the aisle toward me again.ā€
ā€œIn my own dress this time,ā€ Freddie added.
ā€œI canā€™t wait to see your dress, either.ā€
ā€œI canā€™t wait for you to take it off me later.ā€
Rosie laughed. ā€œIf our second wedding night is anything like our first I think thatā€™s the part Iā€™m looking forward to the most.ā€
Giggling, Freddie smoothed her hands down the skirt of her dress and sat up straight. ā€œI canā€™t wait to marry you again,ā€ she said quietly.
ā€œThen I guess weā€™d better get this wedding started, huh?ā€ Rosie replied gently. ā€œI love you, Fred. I canā€™t wait to make you my wife again. Being your husband is the greatest joy of my life.ā€
ā€œStop that right now and save it for the altar,ā€ Freddie chastised insincerely, ā€œor Iā€™ll cry and Millie will be furious, because she did my makeup so nicely.ā€
ā€œAlright,ā€ Rosie conceded. He laughed. ā€œSpeak of the devil.ā€
ā€œIs she ready now?ā€ Millie asked as she led Freddieā€™s mother and two childhood dogs down the hallway. ā€œYour mum said the first tradition is about to start.ā€
ā€œSheā€™s ready,ā€ Rosie assured Millie with a grin. ā€œMake sure you take good care of my wife until you get her back to me, alright?ā€
Millie scoffed while Alma laughed.
ā€œIā€™ll see you soon, Fred,ā€ Rosie called as he rose from his chair and dragged it away so Millie and Alma would be able to get through the door. ā€œI love you!ā€
ā€œI love you too!ā€ Freddie called back. She stood and moved her own chair away from the door and waited patiently for Rosie to leave and her wedding entourage to enter.
Millie took one look at her and grinned. ā€œYou look much better now.ā€
Freddie smiled, accepting Earnie from her so she could cuddle him. ā€œIā€™m much readier now,ā€ she replied. ā€œItā€™s my wedding day!ā€
ā€œAgain,ā€ Millie said with a laugh. ā€œMost of us only get one so donā€™t forget to enjoy it.ā€
ā€œI wonā€™t,ā€ Freddie vowed. ā€œIā€™m going to enjoy it so much. Nothing to worry about, really. Rosieā€™s going to be right there the whole time.ā€

Would Eddie and Gregory's wedding ceremony have any sort of mini-coronation for Eddie to officially make him King Consort, or would that just be a thing that happens automatically or a document for Gregory to sign, with no ceremony at all? I assume since he's not the king he wouldn't get his own ceremony, but I wonder if he might get a moment for Gregory to give him some sort of crown-like headpiece at their wedding. (I'm anon, so obviously ā€”and in the spirit of this whole book seriesā€” this is a free idea if you don't have it in there currently but like it.)
Oh yeah, there is A Plan!
So, Eddie and Gregory have three weddings -- first the hippie non-legal California wedding for Eddie's family, then the small, private ceremony where they sign the ketubah (the Jewish marriage contract) for Gregory's family, then the big public "parade wedding" to satisfy the Shivadh love of pageantry and allow Gregory to leverage a public event for some political ends. The Parade Wedding is much later than the other two and the only one I haven't written yet (it's in October and I'm stuck back in August right now), but the idea is that after the vows there's a small coronation ceremony where Eddie receives his crown as King Theophile.
I'm still working out details, such as who's going to crown him, but it's definitely in my notes when I get that far along in the book. Right now I'm favoring either Gregory (poetic, romantic, but difficult as he's a groom) or their newly adopted daughter Joan (making her feel like a part of things as the very new child in the situation, but also she's a child and Gregory's trying to limit her exposure until she's a little older). I can't deny Jerry would be the funniest option, and as vizier it technically could be his actual facts job. If Jerry does it he's definitely breaking out his fake Evil Goatee from the Eurovision national final again.
I am working on the book, albeit slowly. It's just...big and complicated, and life since late April has also been big and complicated. But the parade wedding is the next big emotional beat, so I'll get there sooner or later!

What mercs think about getting married
This varies heavily
Mercs getting married
Scout
Scout wants to get married at some point but right now he's too busy living his 'prime'
He also doesn't even know who'd he really want to marry.
He knocked Pauling off his options due to her being a lesbian(also before anyone gets mad at me that's genuinely canon about her)
So yes I think he would wanna get married but I don't think he sees it anywhere in the next few years.
Pyro
You like fire?
You like dresses?
Cool take the ring pop and get on the alter that's definitely not on fire and covered in balloonicorns NOW
Soldier
Considering this man is already engaged in canon I think he definitely likes the idea of himself getting married and just never thought about it before.
Demoman
He doesn't think anyone is too interested in getting married with him.
He warns the person beforehand about the hell of a mother in law they're about to have
Mrs DeGroot tho be like "FUCKING FINALLYYY"
I think he'd sober up for his wedding.
Alike Scout I don't think he'd want to get married while still on the contract with Mann Co.
Engineer
I think he would have a wedding during his contract if he ever did get a fiancƩ.
He probably fantasizes about going on some cowboy adventure for the honeymoon.
I think he gets overly excited and he himself is just trying not to cry the whole time.
Heavy
He's not getting married during his contract.
He'll make sure his family likes whoever he's marrying first.
I think he'd be excited to get married if it ever came down to it.
It's a small wedding. Like real small.
Spy
If it's not Scout's mom he don't want it/j
But like seriously I can't see this man ever getting married. At all
I'm so sorry Spy fans
Medic
Someone wants to marry him? This guy? Even he's in disbelief
He's not opposed to the idea he just never thought it would ever happen to him of all people
It's not anything big but dear God is it fancy.
It's a Jewish wedding bc Jewish Medic headcanon beloved
He's very stressed about the preparations.
Sniper
Sniper? Marriage?
It's not for him.
It's not that he doesn't want a partner it's just that he doesn't want a wedding.
Get in the courthouse get the papers and get out kinda guy.

What is the difference between a Shia wedding and a Sunni wedding?
Shi'a don't require witnesses when the marriage contract is being signed. However, it is recommended to have at least two witnesses present. It is mandatory to have two witnesses when a divorce takes place. Sunnis require you to have two witnesses during the marriage ceremony, while it is not required to have witnesses during a divorce ceremony.
There is the concept of temporary marriage (Zawaj al-Mutah) within Shi'a Islam that allows partners to engage in a relationship for a fixed time. The purpose of such marriage is sexual gratification. Although the concept exists within the fiqh of Sunni Islam, it has ever since been banned by Umar.
Shi'as prohibit permanent marriages to the People of the Book (Jewish people, Christians, Zoroastrians, Sabeans and various Abrahamic religions) but allow for Shi'as to be temporarily married to them; Sunnis allow it in permanent marriage. Shi'as are allowed to be in a permanent marriage with Muslims of different branches of Islam.

Ketubbah ā€”Ā Mashad, Persia (Iran), 1892 CE
Tumblr media
According to the curator: "The wedding took place on December 7, 1892.
The Jews of Meshed were forcibly converted in the 19th century but continued to maintain their Jewish life in secret. This led to the phenomenon of marriage contracts in the Moslem style and text, the only difference being the use of the term "New to Islam" in the contract.Ā  The signatures along the borders were usually in Hebrew, as in this impressively decorated example. For the weddings of these Jews, two Ketubot were often made: one in Persian and one in Hebrew. The matching Ketubah in Hebrew to this one in Persian is in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C."

Ketubbah from Casale Monferrato, 1772
Celebrating the marriage of MeirĀ ben Johanan Solomon (known as Jonah Zalman) and ZipporahĀ bat Simeon Hayyim Levi Morello on Friday, 1 AdarĀ II 5532 (March 6, 1772).
This exquisitely decorated marriage contract records the wedding of members of two of the most important families in the Piedmontese town of Casale Monferrato. The groom, Emilio Meir Vitta Zalman (1756-1820), was the scion of a prominent family of landowners and bankers. He was a lay member of Napoleonā€™s Sanhedrin, and his son, Giuseppe Raffaele Vitta, was made a baron in 1855 for his contribution to the nation in assisting soldiers wounded in the Crimean War.Ā 
The document is lavishly decorated with a richly colored floral border within which cupids frolic. The family emblems of the groom and bride adorn the ketubbah and appear in ovals at the top right and left of the document. The tapered shape of the parchmentā€™s lower portion is a characteristic feature of ketubbot from Casale Monferrato and gives the document the appearance of a shield. The small but active Italian Jewish community of Casale Monferrato is well known for its synagogue, an architectural jewel of baroque magnificence, as well as for the production of beautiful ceremonial objects. Surprisingly, however, fewer than a dozen decorated ketubbot from seventeenth-Ā and eighteenth-century Casale Monferrato survive, and the present marriage contract is a rare, splendid example of the manner in which the Jews of Piedmont would celebrate their joyous occasions.

I was thinking about Buzz Lightyear and how the mood/tone in the fandom seemed to change substantially afterwards, even the slap at the Oscars that interrupted the whole Buzz being advertised midshow......were they former scientologists?
I mean wedding news of one of Buzz lightyears lead stars would have been good promo after all, no wonder they kept it secret, a real couple would actually keep things private
Not to mention Christopher commenting on Taika & Rita's scare video later on and I quote "I support this", you know, a POC couple, one of whom is actually Jewish....
It's weird that all of his projects have immediately tanked since then, you know after he tweeted support for the LGBTQ scene to be included
Weird how those reviews for Ghosted got published before anyone had even had time to see the movie basically one starting them pre-emptively, like they were already written and ready to go?
Weird how all of that keeps happening huh???
It makes me wonder if some homophobic shit further up in the Disney ranks that doesn't like the idea of paying people what they are worth and respecting their rights as people (let's not brush over the fact that half the Marvel stars have not been able to speak out and Clark Gregg is currently making submissions for the NO FAKES act)
Disney are the big AI likeness argument with the SagAftra strikes right now, and the big stars aren't speaking up.......more than likely being prevented from speaking up due to the fact they still have a contract with them..... because if Christopher still had a platform to use and seeing as he's not under the Disney umbrella or contracted to them any longer, you can bet your a$$ he would be doing so just like he did with Trump, hence we have Clark Gregg making legal submissions, I wonder who else might come out soon......
Is this Buzz Lightyear "failure" how he ended up getting pushed into this contract with Netflix to push for support for a show renewal that also ended up failing?
CAA can't claim to have not known about her and her past, they're the ones that took her out on loan from UTA and did the cleaning on her racist BS
Weird how CAA entered into a deal with Francois-Henri Pinault to purchase a major stake in their company just days before the "soft launch" of a fake wedding, PR distraction tactic yet again? Yes
If they don't have any clients lefts to keep on their books they don't have a product to sell for a profit, no wonder they have Bryan Lourd in there doing the negotiations (which he shouldn't be and is highly inappropriate conduct on their behalf, he's not there for the benefit of the actors)
Though I will say, I'm glad my "summoning spell" worked so well to have Christopher show up at the con, you are very welcome for the suggestions, good to see you can read but apparently not catch the references
If it's a real marriage his agency and PR firm have nothing to worry about, but if it isn't, he now has them on coercion and possibly blackmail
Ain't that a kick in the head?
