“The gates are open” refers to a Jewish belief that when a bride and groom stand under the chuppah, the couple’s prayers are especially heard and the doors of heaven are open to them. It is a moment full of emotion, spiritual devotion, and simcha. It is also said that during the couple’s wedding day, God atones the couple like a mini Yom Kippur so they truly start from a fresh slate.
