Ironically, I am not a fan of decorated Ketubot. When I started selling my art, I made other Judaica, and when people eventually started asking me to do Ketubot, I agreed. I understand why people like them, but I never thought I would hang my own marriage contract on my wall. Turns out, my partner really wanted one, and since we edited the text so that it better represented our relationship, I gave in and agreed to make him one- also ironically, since traditionally the groom gives the Ketubah to the bride. In our egalitarian ceremony we gave it to each other, and practically, I made and gave my groom this piece of art. I will admit, I am excited to have it hanging on our wall.
