Question

Is 3:33 a typo, or is that the actual ceremony time?

Question

What Is a Chuppah?

Answer

The chuppah is a tapestry attached to the tops of four poles. The word means “canopy” or “protection” and is intended as a covering for the bride and groom at their wedding. This cover is metaphorically representative of the new home the bride and groom will make together. For Chelsea and Ethan’s ceremony, the cloth tapestry is the tallit (prayer shawl) of Chelsea’s maternal grandfather.

Question

Why Break a Glass at a Jewish Wedding?

Answer

Breaking a glass at the end of the wedding ceremony is to commemorate the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and a reflection of being without one’s spouse. After the wedding, the bride and groom are not merely a half, but now miraculously a whole. This is cause for joyous celebration, and following the breaking of the glass under the chuppah, “Mazel Tov!” is exclaimed as a gesture of good luck and congratulations.
