christian marriage

Marriage is a sacred institution, which has existed for centuries. People select their life partners for themselves or on the recommendation of their family and Church and enter into the sacred bond of marriage. Christian marriages are generally governed by the Bible which lays down certain rules to preserve the sanctity of the marriage. All true Christians usually get married in wedding chapels or churches to tie the bond in the presence of the Holy Bible.

To get married in a church, the partners need to purchase the services of the priest or minister performing the marriage ceremony and may have to pay a certain amount as rent for the church. While some churches may provide decorating arrangements, some may not offer any additional services. Various churches offer different packages to people instead of charging for individual services separately. Most of them allow people to bring their own minister. All churches may have different rules and policies and it is advisable to clarify these issues in advance. Most churches offer discounts to members of that particular church.

The married couple exchange their holy vows and vow to care for each other in sickness and in health. They agree to honor their commitment and stay together until death. The priest or minister and close relatives testify to this wedding. It is customary at Christian weddings to serve the wedding cake after the wedding ceremony. Wedding cakes are generally large and can be highly decorated and multi-layered.

People can choose to get married in a wedding chapel of their own choosing. People can choose from a wide range of wedding chapels based on their seating capacity and location. While many chapels can be found in cities, many opt for chapels located in picturesque locations.

There are people who prefer to have their wedding ceremonies in outdoor places like parks, beaches or other exotic places. Outdoor ceremonies offer you the freedom to organize your weddings in unusual styles. Many event planners make wedding arrangements based on a particular theme.
