The biggest issue that they have to talk about is that after the recitation of the ketubah, though the groom gets to speak up a declaration but the girl only gets the girl. In Jewish tradition, girl allowing the boy to place ring on her index finger of left hand, means that she accepts that boy as her husband.
Anyhow! The marriage ring has been worn and they have been formally announcing ad the Mr. and the Mrs. The next thing to look forward is the post wedding Jewish rituals.
The yichud

Many couples are on fast at their wedding day. So during these moments they can break their fast with whatever they want to have.
Such moments are allowed to have in order to give them some break from the hectic schedule since morning of that day.
After this ritual, the couple finally joins their guests for the feasting.
Seudat Mitzwah

A grand feast waits for all as the wedding has been solemnized. As the bride and the groom enter into this feasting hall, they are made to sit at the centre while all the friends and the relatives sit around them in a circle.
Dancing goes on.
As the guests settle down they are given some booklets or small brochures for the rest of the programs that will be materialized.
