Traditional Jewish weddings begin with separate simultaneous receptions by the groom and the bride for close friends and family. By tradition the bride and groom refrain from seeing each other for a week prior to the wedding. The bride and groom meet again surrounded by the rabbi and family as witnesses to read and sign the Ketubah. The couple then meet again under the chuppah, 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. It is intended to be symbolic of the couple's new home, open on all sides to welcome family and friends and to offer hospitality to those in need.
