The wedding canopy, or chuppah, represents the home of the new bride and groom. Having the sides open symbolizes an open invitation to guests into their home, as Abraham and Sarah did with their tents.

It is a Jewish custom for the bride and groom to fast on their wedding day since it is called a day like Yom Kippur, the holy day of atonement where one's sins are forgiven and one can start a new life; one of improvement. The wedding itself is a rebirth of two single people into the new entity of marriage in which they must learn to live with each other in beginning their new life. The fast lasts only until after the chuppah (wedding canopy). After that, the couple joins in the celebratory feast with everyone else.
