The breaking of the glass is a Jewish tradition. The breaking of the glass
means that the marriage will last forever – that is, as long as the glass is broken.
“Mazel Tov!”
~~~
“The breaking of the glass at the end of a wedding ceremony serves
to remind of two very important aspects of a marriage. The bride and groom – and
everyone – should consider these marriage vows as an IRREVOCABLE ACT – just as
permanent and final as the breaking of this glass is unchangeable. But the breaking of
the glass also is a warning of the FRAILTY of a marriage. That sometimes a single
thoughtless act, breech of trust, or infidelity can damage a marriage in ways that
are very difficult to undo – just as it would be so difficult to undo the breaking of
this glass. Knowing that this marriage is permanent, the bride and groom
should strive to show each other the love and respect befitting
their spouse and love of their life.”
