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.
