Jewish Wedding: Nissuin

Jewish Wedding: Nissuin

The second section of the wedding ceremony begins the Sheva Brachot, or seven benedictions, which are recited over a cup of wine.  The blessings thank God for the fruit of the vine, the creation of the world, the creation of human beings, the perpetuation of life, the survival of the Jewish people, the joy of marriage, and the bride and groom’s happiness.
