Jewish Traditions
  •  At the end of the ceremony, your groom will stamp on a glass. This is to remind you of the destruction of the Temple and the fact that with happiness must come responsibility to cope with the harder times to cope

  • Dance the traditional ‘hora’ celebration dance at the celebration
       
  • Fast from first light until the ceremony under the chuppah on your wedding day (unless it is Rosh Chodesh, or the new moon). This will act like a personal Yom Kippur where you are forgiven your sins and can start married life without spiritual baggage
       
  • Break the evening celebrations for tea, coffee and cake rather than serving them straight after the meal
       
  • Wear a plain metal wedding band without any stones or engraving and neither of you should wear adornments under the chuppah. This is to show that you are not marrying for money or material gain
