How does the Chupa work in Eretz Yisroel? A few posters mentioned it is done differently.

I got married in E”Y. In the hall that I got married in, the chuppah was outside with the men on one side of it and the women on the other. After the baddekin the men escorted me outside to the chuppah and packed to one side of it. Then the women came and filled up the other side. My formerly-soon-to-be-wife came down with her mother and mine from between the women. My wife wore a tznius gown and sheitel the whole time. Family wore regular Shabbos clothing, although bought new.

The shape of the hall made it so that when we left the yichud room, we parted ways and I couldn’t have seen how she was greeted by her friends at all.

I’m not chassidish. I’ve been to a couple of chassunahs here over the years. As far as I know, this is how everyone does it here.
