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".
Destination Weddings
Destination weddings are becoming more popular and many couples decide to have their wedding and honeymoon in the same place. Whether this happens for an intimate beach ceremony in the Caribbean, or extravagant nuptials in Las Vegas, it will qualify as a destination wedding. Wedding ceremony decorations and wedding ceremony music may be readily available, depending upon your wedding destination, or you may need to give those items some further thought. And wedding ceremony readings can, of course, occur anywhere - you just need to prepare them in advance, and may not have the input of your church minister, priest, rabbi, iman or celebrant. You'll need to think for yourselves!
Weddings over a Weekend
Some couples decide to have their wedding over the course of a weekend and this can ensure the occasion is less stressful for all concerned. Themed occasions can involve golf, hang-gliding, shooting or any type of venue you can imagine. Lodging is usually at the same facility and couples often host a Sunday wedding ceremony and meal for the weekend's finale, where the traditionalists still opt for wedding ceremony music and some form of wedding ceremony decorations for the occasion.
An Online Wedding Ceremony
Although it has not really caught on yet, a few bold and different people have decided to tie the knot online but it may be sometime before this style of wedding really becomes more popular; internet based specialists are already available to help organize your ceremony. Marriages that are broadcast live online are also referred to as online weddings.
Town Hall Weddings
Local civil authority services are called civil weddings as they do not take place in a church and must be performed by a locally elected or appointed official. 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, and wedding ceremony music is unlikely to be present, or if it is it will certainly be kept to a minimum. Wedding ceremony readings will similarly need to be kept extremely short, and wedding ceremony decorations may also be absent. - 31368
