Crunch.
\nSmash.
\nStomp.
\nBoom.
\nBang.
\nCrash.
\nCrush.<\/p>\n

These are the sounds everyone wants to hear when the groom steps on the glass at his Jewish wedding. What a yummy and satisfying sound and it elicits such a hearty “mazel tov!” from all those in attendance. And bookended by kisses? Yeah, what’s not to love about the breaking of the glass?!<\/p>\n

The question is: Can breaking the glass become any more exciting than it already is? The answer is YES. Yes, it can. <\/p>\n

Thanks to Mazel Tov Stone<\/a>, the groom has a ceremony memento that provides a sturdy and volume-increasing surface for the glass to break on with a rapid and swift stomp of the foot. Want even more bang for your buck? The pro tip: Use the heel of the foot for maximum crunch.<\/p>\n

A Mazel Tov Stone<\/a> does more than its job under the chuppah during the ceremony. It also serves as a beautiful keepsake of your wedding because it’s personalized with your information. You have a ketubah as a special symbol of your wedding day, right? A Mazel Tov Stone is another artifact from the happiest day of your life that can live in your home for all the years after. <\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, I got to hang out with Robb and Lisa — the genius husband-and-wife team behind Mazel Tov Stone<\/a> — at Bridal Premiere in California. <\/p>\n

It’s always so fun to see friends of The Wedding Yentas in person. To all the rest of the fabulous friends in The Wedding Yentas Vendor Directory<\/a>, let’s plan a big, flashy party so we can all get together and gush about our favorite thing: Jewish weddings!<\/p>\n

Anyway, Mazel Tov Stone<\/a> set up a picture-perfect booth to complement their beautiful stones and offered real demos of glass-breaking galore. They were also offering a bridal show special on their pricing. Teeeeeeechnically, it was an offer for people who were there that day and that day only. But, because you’re a reader of The Wedding Yentas, mention the bridal show special and you might luck out in the savings department. Wink, wink. <\/p>\n

It was so fun to watch all kinds of grooms take a shot at breaking the glass. Even when it’s not a real wedding, there’s something so contagiously happy about it! <\/p>\n
