Question
What is broken at the engagement and what under the chuppah, and do they specifically need to be made of glass or ceramic?
Answer
At the engagement, a plate is broken, and under the chuppah, a glass is broken. The groom breaks the glass under the chuppah with his right foot, and it should be made of glass, while the plate at the engagement should be made of ceramic.
