Question

Do you have a wedding hashtag?

Answer

Yes! #gallettasbreaktheglass For those are not familiar with Jewish tradition, weddings almost always include a breaking of glass at the end of the ceremony. There are many interpretations for the tradition of breaking glass. The fragility of the glass suggests the frailty of human relationships. The glass is broken to protect this marriage with the implied prayer: “As this glass shatters, so may your marriage never break.” It also symbolizes the breaking down of barriers between people of different cultures and faiths. After the glass is broken everyone yells “Mazel Tov,” which means good luck.
