A wedding is a ceremony that celebrates the beginning
of a marriage or civil union. Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly
between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and social classes.
In some countries, cultures and religions, the actual act of marriage begins
during the wedding ceremony. In others, the legal act of marriage occurs at
the time of signing a marriage license or other legal document, and the
wedding is then an opportunity to perform a traditional ceremony and
celebrate with friends and family. A double wedding is a single ceremony
where two fiancé couples rendezvous for two separate weddings. Typically, a
fiancé with a sibling might plan a double wedding with that sibling.
A destination wedding is any wedding in which the engaged couple and/or a
majority of their guests travel to attend the ceremony. Whether this happens
for an intimate beach ceremony in the Caribbean, extravagant nuptials in Las
Vegas or for a simple ceremony in someone's back yard, chances are it
qualifies as a destination wedding.
A white wedding is a formal or semi-formal wedding in the United Kingdom,
Ireland and United States, as well as Commonwealth, traditions.
A military wedding is a ceremony conducted in a military chapel.
An online wedding is a wedding that is either conducted on the internet, or
is an event that resembles a standard wedding when two people who wish their
avatars, or characters, to be married. Many couples are using the internet
to meet and share their vows. Planning is made easy, with online wedding
guides (see references) where reliable and friendly vendors are listed.
A same-sex wedding is a ceremony in which two people of the same gender are
married. This may be an official and legally recognized event, or (in places
that to do not allow same-sex marriage) it may simply be an opportunity to
make the same pledges and have the same celebration with friends and family
as at a traditional wedding.
A justice of the peace presides over a civil marriage ceremony by a lake in
Connecticut. A civil wedding is a ceremony presided over by a local civil
authority, such as an elected or appointed judge, justice of the peace or
the mayor of a locality. Civil wedding ceremonies can use references to God,
but no references to a particular religion or denomination. They can be
either elaborate or simple. Many civil wedding ceremonies take place in
local town or city halls or courthouses in judge's chambers.
Wedding ceremonies may contain any number of different elements, however
most contain wedding vows of some kind and a proclamation of marriage,
usually by the officiant. Most weddings also involve wearing the traditional
clothes of the culture in which the couple is wedding. A wedding is often
followed or accompanied by a wedding reception.
Other elements may include music, poetry, prayer, scripture, or other
traditions. In most societies a number of traditions or customs have emerged
around the wedding ceremony, many of which have lost their original symbolic
meaning in the modern world. Other wedding traditions are relatively recent.
Some elements of the Western heterosexual wedding ceremony symbolize the
bride's departure from her father's control and entry into a new family with
her husband. In modern Western weddings, this symbolism is largely
vestigial, since husband and wife are of equal power and status. In some
cultures, same-sex weddings are celebrated.
A wedding's particular customs may be varied, mixed, or invented to suit the
personalities, interests, and cultural backgrounds of the couple. Such
hybrid ceremonies are more common when performed by Civil Celebrants, as in
Australia, the United States and Canada.
