The bride and groom sign a "Ketubah", a Jewish marriage contract.  The document will be framed and displayed in the couple's home.

The groom studies the bride's face underneath her veil.  This is because in the Biblical story of Jacob, he accidentally married the wrong woman after she covered her face with a veil.

Jewish wedding bands are simple, with no decorations.  This symbolizes that there is no beginning, and no end, in the union.

The men should all wear yamulkes.

Jewish parents escort their children down the aisle.

The wedding is performed under a canopy called a huppah.  This canopy symbolizes God's protection.

There are seven wedding blessings in a Jewish ceremony.

The tradition of the groom stepping on a wine glass symbolizes the fragility of human happiness.

Jewish brides and grooms are given a short time alone immediately following the ceremony, prior to the reception.  In the past, this was when the marriage was consummated, however now it is a time for the bride and groom to be alone and reflect on their wedding.
