In Genesis 29 you can read how Jacob was so in love with Rachel that he agreed with her father to work for him for 7 years before he (Jacob) married his daughter.
When the 7 years was up there was a big party to celebrate. When it was dark the father gave Jacob his oldest daughter, Leah and Jacob slept with her.
In the morning he saw he had been tricked and was outraged. The father explained it was not right to marry off the younger daughter before the older. So Jacob agreed to work another 7 years before he could marry his love, Rachel.
Incidentally, if you take a bus tour from Jerusalem to Galilee the bus passes Rachel's tomb - it is right there, along side the road.
