Words you might hear during the wedding or see on this web site

Bedecken

Chattan

Hebrew for "Groom". That would be David in this particular wedding.

Chuppah

Ketubah

Halacha

Jewish law.

Hiddur Mitzvah

Taking a Mitzvah and making it beautiful. The idea here is that since you have to do it anyway, you might as well make it nice.

Kosher

Permissible to eat by Jewish law. This is the (relatively) famous meat-and-milk rule. It's also the reason why the wedding dinner is fish and not meat of some sort - we wanted to have really nice desserts, which meant they had to be dairy, so we couldn't have a meat dinner. Desserts are more important than dinner, anyway.

Kallah

Hebrew for "Bride". E.g. Paige.

Mazal Tov

Hebrew for "Good Luck!" There will be a lot of this being said.

Mitzvah

Literally "commandment", but often translated as "good deed".

Tenaim

Yichud
