Wedding Customs
Question
I remember reeading some years back, that, according to ancient jewish tradi- tion, regarding the marriage ceremony, the bridegroom would always come for his bride on a Tuesday. And, at night, the bridegroom and his wedding party would approach the bride-to -be's home, and at midnight, someone in the wedding party would shout: "Behold, the bridegroom cometh". Tell me, is this really true, that the bridegroom used to come for his bride on a Tuesday? And, did someone in the wedding party always shout: "Behold, the bridegroom cometh"? Would it be possible to e-mail me an article of this ancient jewish marriage ceremony, which talks about the bridegroom coming for his bride on a Tuesday, as well as someone in the wedding party shouting: "Behold, the bridegroom cometh". I would greatly appreciate your help in helping to answer these questions for me. Thank You! Terry
