Midrasch zu Bereschit 29:28
וַיַּ֤עַשׂ יַעֲקֹב֙ כֵּ֔ן וַיְמַלֵּ֖א שְׁבֻ֣עַ זֹ֑את וַיִּתֶּן־ל֛וֹ אֶת־רָחֵ֥ל בִּתּ֖וֹ ל֥וֹ לְאִשָּֽׁה׃
Jakob that also; er feierte die Woche mit ihr zu Ende, und Laban gab ihm seine Tochter Rahel zur Frau.
Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer
Jacob began to serve for a wife for seven years. He made a banquet and rejoicing for seven days, and married Rachel, as it is said, "Fulfil the week of this one" (Gen. 29:27). "And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week of this one" (Gen. 29:28). All the men of the place were gathered together to show loving-kindness to our father Jacob, as it is said, "And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast" (Gen. 29:22).
