Marriage is a union of two people that starts with a ceremony that is called a wedding; our concept of a marriage has seen many adjustments over the last few years. The ceremony is an opportunity to perform a traditional service and celebrate with friends and family. The marriage certificate must be signed at the end of the service for the law to legitimize the couple's relationship. The names bridegroom and bride extend around the world; once they are married they known as the wife and husband.
Marriages in a Church
As soon as you look outside of your own race, religious and social group, the wedding tradition can become very complex. Although it may seem like the world has turned away from the Christian religion generally, it has not stopped the popularity of a Church ceremony. These ceremonies are usually referred to as white weddings and are considered formal or semi-formal in the United Kingdom, Ireland and United States, as well as some other Commonwealth countries.
Double Ceremonies
Although unusual a double marriage is a where two couples are married at the same time; this type of ceremony is often organized by a person that has a sibling that wants to get married with them at the same time, having a double ceremony.
Marriages in Another Country
Destination weddings are becoming more popular as many couples decide to have their wedding and honeymoon in the same place. Destination weddings automatically conjure up exotic countries but it could just as easily be a themed wedding in Las Vegas to qualify for that title.
Weekend Break Weddings
Whilst it is quite normal for the Irish to have three day weddings, more couples are taking the hint and having theirs over a weekend which gives them more time to enjoy the occasion. To cater for this expanding market a number of companies can arrange special themed occasions that incorporate anything from golf to surfing. For many people that have outdoor interests this can be a lot of fun and the guests can stay for the entire weekend with them to extend the occasion and have a lot more fun.
Getting Married on the Internet
Still in the early stages of evolution is the internet wedding where the couple is married online; planning is made easy however, with online guides that list reliable and friendly vendors. This can prove a useful tool where relatives and friends from around the world can see an online wedding take place in real time without actually being there!
City Hall Marriages
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. Religion doesn't normally play a part in these ceremonies because they are purely a legal requirement. Many civil ceremonies take place in local town or city halls or courthouses in judge's chambers.
If you live in a Christian country then you will recognize many of these wedding traditions but there are many more types of wedding ceremonies available around the world. Some would be considered extremely bizarre by our own practices.
