6 Wedding Ceremony Types

A civil union between two people whether religious or otherwise is commonly called a wedding. Marriage is still a legal contract despite the religious background, and the legal act of marriage only occurs once the signing a marriage license or other legal document is complete. The religious ceremony (if you have one) may mean that you're married according to your religion or culture, but you won't be recognized as married - i.e. as husband and wife - under the law until you have completed the legal requirements.

1. Getting Married in a Church

Of course we all know and love the white wedding (which can be associated with various religious traditions, including Christian, Jewish and Muslim) but this is not the generally accepted form of ceremony in every country. Although it may seem like the world has turned away from religion generally, it has not stopped the popularity of a Church ceremony, a Synagogue ceremony and so on. Many people love to have traditional wedding ceremony music in their church wedding, together with wedding ceremony readings that are often religious in nature. And because churches and synagogues host so many weddings, having your wedding ceremony decorations put up will not be an issue.

2. Twin Ceremonies

Although unusual a double marriage is a where two couples are married at the same time; typically, a person with a brother or sister might plan this type of occasion with that sibling. Most often, these ceremonies are accompanied by wedding cereomy music and wedding ceremony readings, just as single ceremonies are.

3. Foreign Resort 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!

4. Weddings over a Weekend

A weekend wedding is where couples and their guests celebrate over the course of a weekend. Special activities, such as spa treatments and golf tournaments, are scheduled into the itinerary for guests' enjoyment throughout the weekend. Accommodation for these is normally arranged at the place where the service is going to take place and where the other events are also being held. Wedding ceremony music, wedding ceremony decorations and wedding ceremony readings may certainly form part of a weekend wedding, just a they would with any type of wedding.

5. An Online Wedding Ceremony

Although unusual, you can even get married online and it will resemble a normal wedding or you can even have characters of yourselves get married. Internet companies specializing in this type of ceremony are there to help you with your marriage. You won't need to worry about weddi ceremony music, readings or wedding ceremony decorations for an online wedding. An internet or online wedding can also refer to something rather different - a situation where a couple may broadcast their marriage to friends and family in other parts of the world. In this event, it will be a physical wedding at a venue with all the usual wedding ceremony music, wedding ceremony readings, and with the venue covered in wedding ceremony decorations (if you're into that). But the entire ceremony can be seen online by your relatives and friends who are unable to attend due to distance, illness, or other reason.

6. 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 can be purely for the purpose of fulfilling the legal requirements. Many civil ceremonies take place in local town or city halls or courthouses in judge's chambers, in which event wedding ceremony decorations and wedding ceremony music or readings are unlikely to play a role.
