My wife was telling me something about how the Last Supper mimicked a Jewish wedding ceremony or something. Of course the church is called Christ’s bride. But after the man proposes to the woman (usually a teen girl back then) he would then seal it with them drinking wine together or something. I think there were several other details and symbolisms with the meal.

And then the man would leave the girl and go back to his childhood home to add a room where he and his wife would live. (”My Father’s house has many mansions”). A “mansion” was also the term used for this room.

Once the father decided that the room was big enough, built well enough and ready, then the father would tell his son that he can go and get his wife to come live with him. “But not even I know the time, only the Father.”

I did a quick search to see if any of these customs were actual facts. Came up with a bunch of results that compare Christ and the church with the Jewish marriage customs. Here is one such article.
