The raised cup,
the tipped cup, garlanded with pomegranates and almond
blossoms is symbolic of the Wedding celebration.
The cup is inscribed with the four things we wish for
a new bride and groom: Love, Companionship, Friendship
and Peace. A pair of interlocked rings, symbolizes
the union. Above, the fringe of the Chuppa
bears the words "I am my beloved's and my beloved
is mine." Below, "The song of the bridegroom,
the song of the bride," is rendered, in Hebrew,
on a musical staff. This composition features
the use of dichroic glass which reflects light at all
hours of the day
.
