Is a Jewish wedding all about good food and fancy clothing? Or is there something else going on beneath the surface? It’s true that the guests dress up and the hosts provide a delicious menu, both of which add to the simcha of the event. But those aren’t the most important aspects of the wedding. The halachos (laws) and minhagim (customs) that take place at the wedding of a Jewish couple are what you really need to pay attention to. From kiddushin and nesuin to the signing of the ketubah, the chuppah and the sheva brachos, there are a lot of important steps to making a wedding.
