When two people get married whether in a civil ceremony or religious one, it is called a wedding. The legal act of marriage generally occurs at the time of signing a marriage license or other legal document, and the wedding is then an opportunity to perform a traditional ceremony and celebrate with friends and family.
A woman taking part in the ceremony is called a bride, a man called a bridegroom, after the ceremony they become a wife and a husband, respectively. Of course other wedding traditions can be much more complicated as soon as you look into different race, social classes and ethnic groups to name a few.
Traditionally the church wedding is the most popular where the ceremony is presided over by a Christian priest. White weddings may be quite normal for those of us that live in the United States, UK, Ireland and the Commonwealth but they are not always accepted worldwide amongst Christian faiths.
A different type of wedding which can be difficult to arrange is a wedding where two couple are married simultaneously, often called a double wedding. This type of wedding ceremony is often organized by a person that has a sibling that wants to get married at the same time.
Nowadays as the world shrinks it is much easier for couples to arrange a wedding in another country and have the guests travel to them with the honeymoon continuing without any further travel. 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.
Two day weddings or weekend weddings are a great way to extend the ceremony and festivities as an increasing number of people are finding out. Other weddings come under the term of either themed or special activity weddings which usually take place over a weekend period. Accommodation for these weddings is normally arranged at the place the wedding is going to take place and the other events are being held.
Although unusual, you can even get married online and it will resemble a normal wedding or you can have characters of yourselves get married. Planning is made easy, with online wedding guides where reliable and friendly vendors are listed. Strangely, if you decide to have a wedding shown online in real time it is called an internet wedding.
Elected and appointed officials can carry out a wedding ceremony which is usually called a civil wedding. Religion doesn't normally play a part in these ceremonies because they are purely a legal requirement. These services often take place in city halls, courthouses and other designated areas of town.
