Hebrew term or phrase: באאע"ה
באאע"ה appears next to the name of the bride on a marriage certificate. How would it be translated?

Thank you!

In (or for or by) (the name of - implicit) our father Abraham, may he rest in peace.
Explanation:
I am sure that this is the literal translation of the abbreviation, but I do not know why it appears after a bride's name. It seems to usually appear in relation to Abraham in Judaic texts. It may be used to indicate that the bride belongs to one of the Abrahamic faiths, Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, but I really am just guessing.
