Wine Ceremony and Seven Blessings
The seven blessings are a series of blessings that are chanted by the Rabbi. In Judaism, seven is seen as the mystical number of creation and completion. These blessings thank God for the beauty of the moment and the splendor of life.

Unity Candle
When the Unity Candle is lit by the wedding couple, it symbolizes the merger of two lives into one. It is also considered a transfer of commitment from the families of the couple to a new commitment of the couple to establish a new family.

Breaking of the Glass
The wedding ceremony is concluded with the groom breaking a glass under his foot. Traditionally, this custom is a symbol of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. It is also a reminder of the fragility of human relationships; and a reminder that marriage changes the lives of individuals forever. Relationships are as fragile as glass and must always be treated with care, love and respect.
