Every Jewish wedding ceremony ends with the breaking of a glass to remember and mourn the destruction of Jerusalem. If you have a parent whom you would like to remember at the ceremony, invoke their name, memory, and blessing just before the breaking of the glass. You can also mention them in your wedding booklet.

Recent Deaths

It can be difficult to decide whether to go ahead with a wedding if a parent passes away just before the wedding. In Jewish law, it is acceptable to go ahead with the wedding if it cannot be postponed without losing all of the food, money, and preparations. Otherwise, the wedding should be postponed until mourning is completed. If the death occured just after the wedding day, the bride and groom complete their seven days of feasting before beginning the observance of shiva, the traditional seven days of mourning.
