Wedding Ceremony Music for Different Types of Wedding Ceremonies

By Geraldine Dimarco

For those of you who do not know, a wedding is a legal ceremony that commences a union between two people; once the province of only a male/female relationship, changes to the law have made this concept obsolete in some places. Whatever the background and history to marriage, it is still a legal union between two people; the law requires that the couple sign the marriage certificate in front of witnesses before the marriage can be legally accepted. The man getting married is called the groom or bridegroom to give him his full title and the woman the bride; after the ceremony they become a wife and a husband, respectively.

Church Ceremonies

As soon as you look outside of your own race, religious and social group, the wedding tradition can become very complex. Many people, whether religious or not, still prefer to have a traditional ceremony performed by a recognized religious minister in a Church of their choice, together with traditional wedding ceremony decorations, wedding ceremony music and usually wedding ceremony readings as well.

Twin Ceremonies

A different type occasion often difficult to arrange is where two couples are married simultaneously - typically, a person with a brother or sister might plan this type of occasion with that sibling, or occasionally best friends who are planning a wedding at a similar time might opt for what is usually known as a "double wedding".

Foreign Resort Weddings

These days it is easy for couples to arrange a wedding in another country and have the guests travel to them with the honeymoon continuing afterwards. It doesn't matter exactly where you travel to, whether it is in Egypt or just to Las Vegas it will still be considered a destination wedding, but the planning, and the type of wedding ceremony you opt for, may be considerably different. While wedding ceremony music and wedding ceremony decorations are commonly present in wedding ceremony venues in Las Vegas, you'd be less likely to find them in an Egyptian destination wedding. Wedding ceremony readings can occur anywhere, if you choose to have them. And wedding ceremony music may be able to be organized, particularly if you are prepared to use recorded wedding ceremony music. And as for your wedding ceremony decorations, if you want them at all, you can probably keep them simple and yet still look effective.

Weekend Break Weddings

Two day or weekend weddings are a great way to extend the ceremony and festivities as an increasing number of people are finding out. Special activities, such as spa treatments and golf tournaments, are scheduled into the itinerary for guests' enjoyment throughout the weekend. Lodging is usually at the same facility and couples often host a Sunday brunch for the weekend's finale - often the wedding ceremony itself, where all the usual wedding ceremony decorations, wedding ceremony music and even wedding ceremony readings may be present (or not, as you prefer).

An Online Wedding Ceremony

Although unusual, you can even get married online and it will resemble a normal wedding or you can even have characters of yourselves get married. Internet companies specializing in this type of ceremony are there to help you with your marriage. You won't need to worry about weddi ceremony music, readings or wedding ceremony decorations for an online wedding. An internet or online wedding can also refer to something rather different - a situation where a couple may broadcast their marriage to friends and family in other parts of the world. In this event, it will be a physical wedding at a venue with all the usual wedding ceremony music, wedding ceremony readings, and with the venue covered in wedding ceremony decorations (if you're into that). But the entire ceremony can be seen online by your relatives and friends who are unable to attend due to distance, illness, or other reason.

Town Hall Weddings

Despite the term civil wedding, most services that take place outside of a Church, wherever that may be, are civil weddings which have to be carried out by appointed or elected judges, mayors or a justice of the peace. These ceremonies do not normally make any reference to God as they are a legal ceremony only. These services often take place in city halls, courthouses and other designated areas of town. They are "bare minimum" ceremonies from the point of view of preparation - you won't need to stress about wedding ceremony music, wedding ceremony readings or even any wedding ceremony decorations. - 31368
