After the father replies that he is “giving the bride away,” he lifts his daughter’s veil and kisses her on the cheek. The couple then step up to the platform where the sermon, vows, prayers and lighting of the unity candle take place followed by a benediction. Rev. Falasco charges the couple to stay true to each other, the newlyweds kiss and are then presented to the congregation. The bride leaves on the right side of the aisle, indicating the “bride is always right.” “Weddings usually are conducted on the half-hour, a tradition that the half-hour is the lowest point in the marriage and that everything gets better from then on.” Receptions are held on the hour, indicating that the arm of the clock is “going down” on the celebration. Rose petals are tossed or bubbles are blown as the couple leaves the church. Couples may choose vows from more than six choices for the ceremony. Pre-marital counseling is required. Rev.

Call for Special Bridal Packages Sunday, Jan. 23, 2011 and religious leader at Temple Emanuel, a Liberal synagogue in Pocatello, was married to Victor Raboy in June, 2004 at the Pebble Creek Ski area. The ceremony took place under a chupah, a wedding canopy held up by the couple’s best’s friends. The chupah symbolizes that the couple are creating a home together and that it will always be open to guests. The tradition originated from the wedding of Abraham and Sarah in the Bible. The bride was accompanied by her two grown sons. The bride and groom become betrothed and a blessing is recited over a cup of wine that the bride and groom drink. Rings are exchanged. Seven blessings are recited over another glass of wine. The wedding contract is read under the chupah after the ring ceremony. The groom breaks the glass at the conclusion of the ceremony. One interpretation of the act is that the marriage will act as long as the glass is broken – forever. Another is that people need to remember those who are suffering even in their greatest moment or joy. After the breaking of the glass, the guests yell, “Mazel Tov!” The reception involves lavish food, drinks and dancing, Shein said.
