"Go out and see, daughters of Zion, the King shlomo; in the crown which His mother has made Him,
on the day of His wedding, and on the day that his Heart Rejoices."

The above verse surrounds the Ketubah, taken from the Song of Songs. ( 3:11)
Salomon, refers to Israel in this verse as His mother.
Salomon, through Divine inspiration, refers to Israel's spiritual leadership in this verse as being God's figurative mother. The use of this metaphor is meant to express God's great love for Israel.
"On the day of His wedding" - the Mishnah explains: this refers to when the Torah was given.
"The day that His heart rejoices" - refers to when the Beth Hamikdash was built.
