Breaking of the Glass Ceremony Script 1

We conclude this ceremony with the Breaking of the Glass.

In Jewish tradition, the Breaking of the Glass at a wedding is a symbolic prayer and hope that your love for one another will remain until the pieces of the glass come together again, or in other words, that your love will last forever.

The fragile nature of the glass also suggests the frailty of human relationships.

Even the strongest of relationships is subject to disintegration.

The glass then, is broken to protect the marriage with the implied prayer — May your bond of love be as difficult to break as it would be to put together the pieces of this glass.
