A wedding is a ceremony that celebrates the beginning of a marriage or civil union between two people; these days it is no longer required for the partners to be of the opposite sex. The ceremony is an opportunity to perform a traditional service and celebrate with friends and family. a legal document called a marriage license must be signed before the law recognizes a couple is married. There are a great many traditions around the world but the terms bride and groom before the couple are married are seemingly universal; after the ceremony they are referred to as husband and wife.
Church Ceremonies
Other wedding traditions vary according to the religion, race, ethnic group and even class the couple may belong too. Performed by a Christian priest or vicar, the Church ceremony continues to be top of the list as a venue. White weddings may be quite normal for those of us that live in the United States, UK, Ireland and the Commonwealth but they are not always universally accepted Christian faiths.
Multiple Ceremonies
A rare type of marriage is where two separate couples decide to marry at the same time; ceremonies such as these are usually instigated by siblings who like the idea of a simultaneous marriage.
Destination Weddings
You will probably already know of a couple that determined on a destination wedding and asked the guests to travel to where they were staying; it does not matter exactly where you travel to, whether it is in Egypt or just to Las Vegas it will still be considered a destination wedding.
Getting Married on a Weekend Break
Weekend weddings are becoming popular and in Ireland they take place over the course of three days. Special activities, such as spa treatments and golf tournaments, are scheduled into the itinerary for guests' enjoyment through the weekend. For many people that have outdoor interests this can be a lot of fun and the guests can stay for the weekend with them to extend the occasion.
Internet Weddings
Although unusual, you can even get married online and it will resemble a normal wedding or you can even have characters of yourself get married; internet companies specializing in this type of ceremony are there to help you with your marriage. An online wedding also reiterates to where a couple decides to have their marriage ceremony broadcast live on the internet.
Marriages without Religious Representation Civil weddings have to be carried out by a local justice of the peace, judge, even a mayor can carry out the ceremony and most places out side of a church will use one of these people. For people that elect this type of ceremony it is not important to them if God or religion is referred to in such a brief service. Many civil ceremonies take place in local town or city halls or courthouses in judge's chambers.
