"According to Jewish law, the requirements for a kosher wedding can be summed up in a few words: a bride accepts an object worth more than a dime from a groom; the groom recites a ritual formula to consecrate the transaction; the actions are witnessed by two people who are not related to either bride or groom. That's it."
"The writers typically begin with experiences that occurred long before the wedding, especially how, when and where they met the person whom they would marry. Many Jews believe that one person exists on Earth who is destined to be their partner, their 'beshert.'"
"Religious Jews prepare their weddings around halachic regulations - that is, Jewish law. These may include practicing 'shomer negiyah' - not touching each other at all, from the moment the couple meet until they stand under the chuppah, or wedding canopy."
"Sir Jonathan Sacks, the late chief rabbi of the United Kingdom, encouraged couples to use part of the pre-wedding period to draft a prenuptial agreement to prevent future problems around divorce."
