Wedding 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. |
|
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 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 husband and wife are of equal power and status.
Recently in some cultures, same-sex weddings have begun to be
celebrated. |
|
The
Western custom of the bride wearing a white wedding dress came to
symbolize purity in the Victorian era (despite popular misconception
and the hackneyed jokes of situation comedies the white dress did
not actually indicate virginity, which was symbolized by a face
veil). |
|
Within the "white
wedding" tradition, a white dress and veil would not have been
considered appropriate in the second or third wedding of a widow
or divorcee. The specific conventions of Western weddings largely
from a Protestant and Catholic viewpoint, are discussed at "White
wedding." |

 |
Weddings in modern China combine both traditional elements and elements
influenced by the West. The actual civil ceremony consists of
registering the marriage with the local registrar and is brief and done
without much ceremony. |
|
The wedding
reception, however, is elaborate and complex, and the one
prominent element of modern Chinese weddings is the Chinese
wedding album. (source : http://en.wikipedia.org) |
