Seriously. There's a union of some sort. Maybe not a confederacy, but there's a union!
Come on. It's a joke.
Lighten up.

The wedding ceremony begins with the procession of key wedding party members. Both sets of parents escort the bride and groom down the aisle, a tradition which represents the importance of family.
The bride and groom recite their vows under the chuppah this is a canopy that the couple stand beneath. It is created by attaching four poles and flowers are used to tastefully decorate the structure. Used instead of an altar, it is under this canopy that the couple declare their love. The chuppah is a custom which stems from ancient Jewish weddings that were conducted outside in harsh sunlight. When the bride enters the chuppah, she circles her groom seven times to represent the seven wedding blessings and the seven days of creation.
The Jewish wedding contract is called the Ketubah. It is signed by the Rabbi, the groom and two male witnesses. It is a contract given to the bride as a symbol of the groom?s betrothal and his commitment to her. After the exchange of rings, the Ketubah is spoken aloud and the Seven Blessings of marriage are given.
The ceremony is completed when the couple stomps on glass. This is to symbolise the fragility of human happiness and the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem.

A lot of rituals that really don't mean much, unless they both agree with them. I met a Jewish lady that was a surviver form the concentration camps. She was still a practicing Jew but ended up divorced because her husband was sleeping with their daughter. People are people regardless of what kind of wedding they choose. I say, keep it simple.

Here are two useful general guides. There are, of course, many traditions depending on the country or countries of origin of the happy couple. http://www.aish.com/literacy/lifecycle/Guide_to_the_Jewish_Wedding.asp
