Chayim is authorized to touch Simcha Layah for the first time in their lives, as he places the ring on her finger and recites the formula, "Harei, At M'kudeshet Li..." (Behold, you are consecrated unto me...)   Click on the picture to see video of it (449 KB--Under 2 minutes' download with 56K bps modem).
