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.

The glass will be placed under the right foot of the groom.
“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.”
