The Jewish wedding ceremony ends with a famous bang. Stomping on a glass is one of the bestknown features of Jewish weddings. Traditionally, the groom did the deed; today the couple often share the honor/pleasure, smashing one or two napkinwrapped glasses. The fragility of glass suggests the frailty of human relationships. Since even the strongest love is subject to disintegration, the glass is broken as a kind of incantation: As this glass shatters, so may our marriage never break.
