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 same-sex
wedding for a civil union in Wellington, New Zealand. A
same-sex wedding is a ceremony in which two people of the same sex
are married or, more commonly, civilly united. This may be an
official and legally recognized event, or (in places that 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 heterosexual wedding. |
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 may use references to God, but generally 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.
Expense
The average expense of a wedding in the United States, as of 2007, is
$28,000. This is twice the cost of a wedding in 1990. The wedding industry
nets $161 billion dollars yearly, according to Rebecca Mead, author of "One
Perfect Day." [1][2]

Nubian wedding
with some international modern touches, near Aswan, Egypt
A traditional Japanese wedding
ceremonyWedding 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 traditional Western 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 a husband and wife are
of equal power and status.
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.

Music
song ideas
African weddings
Traditional music throughout Africa is almost always functional; in other
words, it is performed to mark a ritual such as a wedding. A traditional
African wedding ritual serves to combine the families of the bride and
groom. Because Africa is a continent with a wide range of ethnic, cultural
and linguistic diversity, the music of Africa varies widely.
Chinese weddings
Chinese music plays an important role to create an environment of jolly and
noisy atmosphere in the wedding ceremony. A band of musicians with gongs and
flute-like instruments accompanies the bride parade to groom's home. Similar
music is also played in wedding banquet.
Western weddings
Music often played at western weddings includes a processional song for
walking down the aisle (ex: Wedding March) and reception dance music. More
of wedding music.
