On the Sabbath morning, before the wedding, the groom goes to the synagogue for the reading of the Torah. After the groom recites the final blessings, it is customary to throw candy raisins at him to ensure a good life for him and his bride.

Traditionally, the Jewish wedding starts with the signing of the marriage contract called Ketubbah. The Ketubbah is a document that describes the rights and obligations of the bride and the groom who then sign this document and keep it safely

A Jewish wedding ceremony may take place at home or in a synagogue. It is customary for the couple to fast on their wedding day as it is believed to have all their sins forgiven. It has therefore become customary to get married in the late afternoon so the couple fasts for almost the complete day.
