Breaking of the glass, Jewish tradition
At the end of a wedding ceremony, Jewish couples are expected to step on a glass that’s carefully stored inside a small bag to break it into pieces. This Jewish wedding tradition represents the commitment to always stand by each other even in the worst times as well as it shows the inevitable joy and sorrow in every marriage.
Once the ceremony ends and all the rituals are completed, some married couples choose to collect the cloth with the broken pieces of glass and keep it as a souvenir.
