The bethothal and chuppah ceremonies are separated by the reading of the "ketubah". Instead, underneath the chuppah, the couple is wrapped together underneath a tallit. The bride wears this veil until the conclusion of the chuppah ceremony. It is said that the couple's ancestors are present at the chuppah ceremony. The ceremony that accomplishes nisuin is known as "chuppah". A "chuppah" symbolizes the home that the couple will build together. In Talmudic times, the room where the marriage was consummated was called the "chuppah". Some wimpels were even used as a decorative banner on the chuppah itself. A "chuppah" can be made of any material. Thus, the "chuppah" represents hospitality to one's guests. In the single, he accompanies couples to the Chuppah. The word "chuppah" appears in the Hebrew Bible (e.g., Joel 2&colon;16; Psalms 19&colon;5).
