A Jewish wedding is like a tapestry woven from many threads: biblical, historical, mystical, and legal. Threads that form the chain of Jewish continuity stretching back more than 3,800 years. This is a brief overview of the components of a wedding.
First, there is a reception for the groom and another for the bride. Traditionally, they don't see each other for at least a week before the wedding. After the reception, the groom covers the bride's face with a veil, emphasizing that he is not only interested in her outward appearance but also in her inner beauty, which she will never lose.
The chuppah creates a kind of invisible room where only the bride and groom are present. The officiating rabbi recites a blessing, and the groom places the ring on the bride's finger, saying, "With this ring, you are consecrated to me according to the law of Moses and Israel.".
Then the Ketubah, the marriage contract, is read, which details the main obligations of the husband towards his wife.
In the final step, seven more blessings are recited, and at the end, the groom breaks a glass, reminding everyone that the joy is not complete until the Temple is rebuilt.
The bride and groom retire to a closed room, where they spend a few minutes alone.
Then the feast takes place, in which it is a Mitzvah to make the bride and groom happy, and at the end of the festive meal, the blessing after the meals is recited, and again, the seven blessings.
