Y WANT TO POST THIS THAT I FOUND ON A SITE BECAUSE I THINK IT IS ALSO INTERESTING TO KNOW THE "AFTEWARDS" OH THE WEDDING...
Some times Jewish wedding have been criticized for their orthodox rituals, according to some religion critics. The biggest issue that they have to talk about is that after the recitation of the ketubah, though the groom gets to speak up a declaration but the girl only gets the girl. In Jewish tradition, girl allowing the boy to place ring on her index finger of left hand, means that she accepts that boy as her Husband.
Anyhow! The marriage ring has been worn and they have been formally announcing ad the Mr. and the Mrs. The next thing to look forward is the post wedding Jewish rituals.
The yichud
An intriguing ritual as part of the post wedding Jewish rituals. In this custom, the couple is allowed to spend some moments alone.
Many couples are on fast at their wedding day. So during these moments they can break their fast with whatever they want to have.
Such moments are allowed to have in order to give them some break from the hectic schedule since morning of that day.
After this ritual, the couple finally joins their guests for the feasting.
Seudat Mitzwah
As the couple enter, they are announced as wife and husband and all welcome them with applaud. Rice grains are even thrown on them
A grand feast waits for all as the wedding has been solemnized. As the bride and the groom enter into this feasting hall, they are made to sit at the centre while all the friends and the relatives sit around them in a circle.
Dancing goes on.
As the guests settle down they are given some booklets or small brochures for the rest of the programs that will be materialized. These booklets may include the copies of ketubah text, menu of the party, the names of various vendors who contributed in the wedding and also the names of those who are witness to that wedding.
