A Christian wedding usually, conducted in a Church is a simple ceremony involving the exchange of wedding bands and marriage vows by the bridal couple. A Christian bride traditionally wears a white gown, with the face covered in a white veil, clutching on to a bunch of white flowers, while the groom is dressed in a conservative suit.
The wedding rituals are conducted along with the holy mass. The priest commences the procession of reading psalms from the Holy Bible. He then renders a sermon called Homily, which dwells on the sacredness of the wedlock and emphasizes on the sanctity of marriage. After the Homily, the bride and the groom hold each other's right hand and make the solemn promise of lifelong loyalty. This is followed by Blessing and the exchange of the wedding rings. The priest then pronounces them man & wife, with the couple kissing each other.
After the church wedding is over, the couples walk down the aisle, with the guests throwing confetti at them. A large, lively reception awaits the newly-weds and the guests and pre-chosen venue. |
