"Song of Songs" would most likely been sung. This is from the Writings of the Hebrew Bible. It states among other things, "I am my beloved and my beloved is mine". It is one of the most romantic parts of all the Jewish writings. Otherwise known as Keubium. Also in "Will and Grace", a Keutuba would have been presented. This is a marriage contract and would have been signed by the bride and groom and two witnesses, along with the rabbi.
I am suprised on "Will & Grace" they did not show "Leo" stomping on a glass that was wrapped up in a cloth. This is VERY traditional. After the groom stomps on the glass item everyone shouts "MAZEL TOV"!!!!! at the new married couple. This stomping represents along with the happiness of this wedding there are sad things in Jewish history that always should be remembered.
