Following an ancient Jewish marriage custom, Austin stomps on a wine glass wrapped in a napkin. The custom certainly seems to refer back to the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. Then multiple interpretations come up. I chose the idea that the couple celebrates how all of our ancestors have navigated the broken glass in their lives and says to the couple that they, too, because of being a couple, will navigate successfully the broken glass in their own lives.
