'אני לדוד' ולדוד' ל I am My Beloved's and My Beloved is Mine

Here is the breakdown of traditions and events that will take place before, during, and after the ceremony! The Ketuba: The Ketuba is a Jewish marriage contract that highlights our commitments to building a home based on love, Jewish traditions, and mutual respect for one another. It is signed before the wedding ceremony by 2 witnesses. Kippot: A Kippah or yarmulke is a head covering traditionally worn by Jewish men during ceremonies and prayer as a reminder of humility and that G-d is above us, in our minds, and in our hearts, These will be offered before the ceremony to all so please help yourself to a blessing on your head! The Chuppah: The Chuppah symbolizes the home that we will create together in our married life. Its open walls signify that family and friends, old and new, will always be welcome. Circling and the Seven Blessings: During the Ceremony Channah will circle Spencer 3 times, Spencer will then circle channah 3 times then we both will circle around together. The circling is a physical enactment of the wedding ring, conveying unity and completeness. Rings: We will exchange our wedding rings as a sign of commitment to one another. In accordance with Jewish tradition, these rings will be placed on our right index fingers, which is believed to be connected to a special line directly to the heart. Kiddushin: Two cups of wine, one symbolizing the marriage proposal and the other the nuptials, are consumed. Each deserving of its own attention and cup. Channah and Spencer share both cups, symbolizing the life commitment that they made to their shared futures including its joys and sorrows. Breaking of the glass: At the conclusion of the ceremony, Spencer will break a glass under his foot in memory of the destruction of the Temple of Israel, it also reminds us of the delicate nature of marriage, which must always be nurtured. As the glass breaks, it is customary for wedding guests to shout "Mazel Tov", a wish of congratulations and good luck.
