Answer Yes, people who are not Jewish can have a Jewish name. Those people usually have names like Miriam, which is Hebrew but is not distinct. If a person met a Miriam, they â¦usually can't tell your religion, unlike coming across a female named Aviva, which is distinctly Jewish.
Dear Need Answer, A formal wedding can be at any time of day. The formality of the wedding is set by how the bride plans to dress. If the bride's gown has a train (cathedral, sweep, or chapel), the wedding is considered formal. The wedding is considered more formal when it is in the evening, on or after 6pm.
Around here, we like to use the word guideline rather than rule. Etiquette says that tuxedos (and the formal gowns that go with them) should only be worn after 6 p.m. However, as any bridal magazine (including ours) will tell you, that rule is followed loosely. As long as your reception will begin after 6 p.m. (or thereabouts), it's okay to wear formal clothing. You probably wouldn't want to dress that formally for a breakfast affair, although plenty of couples and wedding parties do that too. You're right that it's your day, and you should do what you like, but you can also tell everyone that what you're planning is perfectly in-line with what's acceptable today.
