First: It is a very beautiful ceremony. Second: It has very important significances. Third: it pleases the Jewish relatives and Christians like it too because it honors God almighty. Some mixed religion couples will use a Rabbi and a Christian Minister at the same time. They also sometimes choose to do both styles of ceremonies at the same time. Personally, even though I am a born again Christan I prefer the Jewish Ceremony.
Yes. One of many reasons is the fact that the first commandment in The Bible
is the commandment to Adam and Eve to "be fruitful and multiply", which, while
not impossible, is still, even in this enlightened day and age, pretty tough to
accomplish in an effective and wholesome way outside of marriage.
A religious Jewish wedding, for Jews -
The Orthodox wedding has four parts. The first two parts are under the Chuppah (wedding canopy).
Before the ceremony gets underway, the two families meet and agree upon tanaim (what their respective financial support to the couple will be). This may take place at any time before the wedding.
Just prior to the chuppah, the groom, led by his father and father-in-law, approaches the bride and places a veil upon her which will remain during the chuppah. This is based on a tradition from Jacob.
The first part of the wedding: under the chuppah, the groom gives an item of value (customarily a gold ring) to the bride; and, in Hebrew, declares his intention to marry her (see Tosafot commentary, to Talmud Ketubot 3a). Then a blessing is said (Talmud, Ketubot 7b).
Technically, this actually constitutes the binding stage of the engagement, and in ancient times was usually done separately from the wedding ceremony.
Between the first and second parts of the wedding, the Rabbi customarily reads aloud the ketubah (marriage contract).
The second part of the wedding: the seven wedding-blessings (see Talmud, Ketubot 8a) are sung over a cup of wine, and the bride and groom take a drink from the cup. Then a glass or plate is broken, to symbolize that even in this happy time, we remain aware of the Destruction of the Temple (Tosafot commentary, on Talmud Berakhot 31a).
The third part of the wedding: the bride and groom retire in privacy for several minutes to a room. This constitutes a symbolic consummation and finalizes the formal portion of the marriage. During this seclusion they break the fast which they observed on their wedding day.
The fourth part of the wedding: the couple then enter the adjacent wedding hall, and the festive meal is served to the assembled guests amid a lot of music and dancing (see Talmud, Ketubot 17a).
Jews consider marriage sacred.
Jews are not a monolith so there is no one single opinion on the subject of sex before marriage.
It's difficult to survey, tabulate, and summarize what all "Jews believe". Judaism teaches that the first Biblical commandment is "be fruitful and multiply", which is further understood in the light of the verse previous to it in Genesis where Gcd reflects that it is "not good that the man shall live alone". A Jew who is motivated to follow the teachings of Judaism considers marriage not only permitted, but somewhat of a positive obligation.
