Badeken - Bride Veiling Ceremony

An Intro to the actual wedding ceremony, namely the Chuppah, is a small but lively ceremony known as the Badeken or the Veiling of the Bride. (Shown in this beautiful photo by Stacy Newgent, Chicago.) A ceremony that may go as far back as Biblical times, is probably the most sensuous moments at a Jewish Wedding.
