Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 147

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How does the Kitzur lay out a wedding, from the chuppah under the open sky to the yichud room? The minhagim carry a siman bracha or a reminder: the stars for many children, a kittel for the day of death, ashes for Yerushalayim. The Kitzur makes the yichud the main part of the chuppah, and for a woman married before, the Kitzur asks for a yichud fit for marital relations.

Key points

• The Kitzur calls it proper for a kallah to be clean of nida first, though today's minhag is less strict.
• For a wedding feast on Shabbos, the Kitzur wants the yichud done beforehand, as no kinyan is made on Shabbos.
