Tish and Bedeken- these are kind of more religious explanations, but basically, it's time for groom to get roasted and toasted, parents put blessings on the groom, and then all men (invited) walk the groom into the brides room (bedeken) where he veils her; and the parents wish blessings on the bride.
Groom's Tish- refers to the groom's "table." This is the tradition that, before the wedding, the groom's friends/family gather around the groom for the tish. At the tish, the nervous groom traditionally
attempts to deliver some words about the Torah portion while his friends and family take the pressure off by constantly interrupting him with jokes, toasts, roasts singing, and dancing. At the end of the tish, family and friends dance the groom into the bedeken for veiling.
Bedeken- translates as "veiling," is the groom's veiling of his bride immediately before the ceremony. The custom is said to be based upon the Biblical story in which Jacob, intending to marry Rachel,
accidentally marries her older sister Leah, who wore a veil. A mystical legend holds that bedeken connects the bride to her future, so that when she walks down the aisle, all her children and grandchildren walk with her to the end of the generations.
