Jewish Wedding Consummation. There is the Erusin stage or whats also called the Kiddushin stage. It is the final act of chuppah that seals the marriage.
With only one exception. For that reason after consummation they are supposed to avoid direct physical contact for a number of days similar to the days of separation that accompany and follow the womans monthly period. And then there is the Nissuin stage which is the wedding and the consummation of the marriage.
The wedding feast that follows is a seudat mitzvah a commanded mealaccompanied by good food dancing and singingwhere it is a mitzvah commandment to help the couple rejoice.
In many areas it is customary for a table to be set aside at the wedding feast for the poor and indigent of the community so they can participate fully in the wedding. Marriage to them was a practical. It is alternatively termed nissuin meaning elevation of status from nassa coming by carriage from the fathers home to the grooms. Kiddushin is not engagement as we understand it.
