This beautiful tradition is easy to incorporate into your wedding plans, whether you will be married in a synagogue or elsewhere, indoors or outside, in a ceremony as traditional or as modern as you choose. A huppah is a great way to incorporate the traditions of older generations into today... or, a great way to start a tradition of your very own
