How Christian Matrimony Celebrates the Wedding Ceremony

Before the fun and enjoyment, Christian Matrimony is blessed and solemnized in churches. There are also parts in Christian matrimony, namely, the pre wedding, wedding and post wedding customs and traditions. The wedding customs and traditions within this community to differ from country to country because of the fact that the people in the Christian community can come from different places all over the world.

There is a bridal shower which the people organized and is dedicated to the Christian bride. It is held during the pre- wedding ritual and is full of joy, fun and laughter. This is basically an informal party where guests are female friends and cousins of the bride. Lots of dancing, music and fun are expected. In addition, the organizer can add so much fun games during the party. During the occasion, there will be gifts coming from the family, relatives and friends and given to the Christian bride-to-be. The entire party is showered with blessings to lead a happy and blissful married life. During the occasion, the bride usually serves her guests a pink cake. People are used to having this unique custom of putting a thimble inside the cake then whoever gets the piece of cake with this hidden thimble is believed to be the next in line of getting married.

Another most awaited thing in a Christian matrimonial is the wedding dress worn by the Christian bride. The wedding gown can be simple, highly embellish, or a netted one. The color is traditionally white. Her head will be wearing a white veil with a tiara. The tiara can be made up of diamonds or a bunch of flowers. Whatever she chooses, the bride always would look great. There will be a bouquet of flowers held by the bride when she walks down the aisle, and she then throws it towards her girl friends after getting married. To the one who will catch the bouquet, it has been traditionally believed that she is the next girl to be married. Then, the trail of the gown is also a unique feature. The trails can vary depending on the extent of marriage; those magnificent marriages have quite long trails while some can be small and sober. Indeed, the beauty of the Christian bride will be emphasized more with this entire ensemble.

On the other hand, the groom usually wears a formal suit that is black or navy blue in color. An informal party where the host of the party is the groom himself is also being celebrated. This time it is called a bachelor's party. Of course this is held before the wedding since it is a celebration of the groom’s last night of being single. This pre wedding bash is so much fun and enjoyed by the groom and his friends. There will be toasts raised for the groom.

During the wedding, the Christian bride enters the church while taking support of her father's arms is one of the most emotional moments seen during that day.There will also be bridesmaids and the maid of honor. The best man would greet the bride and take her to the arms of the groom. You definitely will be mesmerized the moment the bridesmaid lift the trail of the bride. Once the marriage vows will be repeated by both the bride and the groom after the priest starts it, they are then considered as man and wife.
