Jewish weddings

Mazel tov occasions

Jewish weddings follow traditions rooted in Jewish law and custom.

The ceremony takes place under a chuppah (wedding canopy), symbolizing the couple's new home.

Key elements include the signing of the ketubah (marriage contract), the exchange of rings, seven blessings, and the groom breaking a glass underfoot—traditionally commemorating the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem.

They're having a Jewish wedding in June.
