A good guide for your big day by Alice Haynes Spotlight on... A wedding is a ceremony where two people are united in marriage. Special wedding garments are often worn, and the ceremony is sometimes followed by a wedding reception. Music, poetry, prayers, or readings from religious texts or literature
are also commonly incorporated into the ceremony, as well as superstitious customs.
Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnicities, races, religions, denominations, countries, social classes and sexual orientations. Most wedding ceremonies involve an exchange of marriage vows by a couple, presentation of a gift, and a public proclamation of marriage by an authority figure or celebrant.
