What traditions are part of a Jewish wedding?

Jewish weddings include important rituals such as the ketubah, which outlines the couple's promises; the chuppah, which symbolizes the home they will build together; the exchange of rings; the seven blessings; and the breaking of the glass to signify joy and remembrances.

A typical Jewish wedding ceremony lasts about 25 minutes, depending on the additional rituals, readings, or musical elements incorporated.
