Kiddush cups is a beautiful requirement for a Jewish wedding ceremony. The couple shares from one cup. Not to be confused that the wedding ceremony customs includes two cups of wine.

The Jewish wedding blessing ceremony is called Nisuin.
The rabbi pours the wedding couple’s second cup of wine into their new Kiddush cup pre-ceremony. The wedding couple will share the wine that seals the seven blessings, the Sheva B’rachot. The clergy officiant reads or chants them. Sheva is the Hebrew word for seven. B’rachot is the Hebrew word for blessings. The Sheva B’rachot number seven is a prominent number in Judaism. For many culturally connected with Judaism, it is symbolic as a personal connection.
The Jewish wedding blessings declare, ‘The sound of joy, the sound of celebration, the voice of the groom, the voice of the bride. Two people make a marriage. The seven blessings are symbolic of the beauty of two people who can create their own beautiful world. There are alternative ways to read or chant the seven blessings with a modern twist.
