Wedding Accessories Knowledge Base - What is a Wedding Ceremony?
A wedding is the ceremony in which two people are united in marriage.
Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic
groups, religions, countries, and social classes. Most wedding ceremonies
involve an exchange of wedding vows by the couple, presentation
of a gift (offering, ring(s), symbolic item, flowers, money), and
a public proclamation of marriage by an authority figure or leader.
Special wedding garments are often worn, and the ceremony is followed
by a wedding reception. Music, poetry, prayers or readings from
Scripture or literature also may be incorporated in the ceremony.
