TitlePhotograph of the wedding of Jackie and Tony Weiss, 1983
Creator David Huban (photographer)
DescriptionColour photograph of Jackie Weiss (nee Wise) and Tony Weiss under the chuppah undertaking kiddushin (betrothal ceremony).
The couple are completing kiddushin: the first part of the Jewish wedding ceremony begins with a blessing over the wine, and a sip taken by the couple.
The chuppah is a wedding canopy dating back to the tent-dwelling Jewish nomadic days in the desert. Historically, Jewish wedding ceremonies were held outdoors, and the chuppah created an intimate, sanctified space.
This is part of a collection of images photographed by David Huban representing some of the rituals and customs at a Jewish wedding.
