BeskrivningColour photograph of Jackie Weiss (nee Wise) and Tony Weiss under the chuppah at their wedding.
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. 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.
When the couple first enters, the bride circles the groom seven times, representing the seven wedding blessings and seven days of creation, and demonstrating that the groom is the center of her world. To make the ancient ritual reciprocal, many couples opt to circle each other.
