How many wedding types are there?

Weddings around the world are far from homogenous. There are as many types of ceremonies as religions, traditions and cultures. There are those who prefer something discreet in a Catholic chapel, others dress colored in the Hindu ceremony or reserve this great moment within their Jewish tradition.

Catholic Wedding

Most Latino couples choose this type of traditional marriage to their religion. If you have decided to give the Yes in a Catholic church you will have to take into account the entrance hymn, the godfathers and the people who are going to integrate your wedding court. The readings of the Psalms, and the Old and New Testaments can be made by friends and close relatives. The vows, the kiss and the nuptial blessing are the most beautiful moments of this communion.

The style of the ceremony may vary. You can celebrate your wedding in a small chapel, outdoors, in a great cathedral etc. The choices are endless.

Muslim Wedding - Islamic

The Muslim wedding (Islamic wedding) is characterized because the center of attention is the woman, to whom it is dignified to make it deserving of its future husband. In the Muslim wedding when groom wears ''sherwani'' he just looks like a king, and on another side, the bride sometimes wears it's ''jamdani'' or ''lehenga, '' but she just looks like a queen. 

Gitana wedding

Gypsy weddings last three days. During the first test of the handkerchief or the three roses where the virginity of the bride is checked. On the second day the wedding and banquet are held. At this moment the couple dances, the bride in the arms of the groom, while the men offer tickets to the couple and the women deliver carnations to the men. The third day begins the first hour of the morning the sardine festival, a new banquet in which your community participates.

Buddhist Wedding

The Buddhist union has a more spiritual approach. The monks, who previously analyzed the astral chart of the bride and groom, run the ceremony. The bride and groom sing a psalm for about an hour. In a position of respect, the couple is blessed by the wedding bishop. Finally everyone celebrates together in the middle of a great dinner as an offering to both the Buddha and the monks.

Indian Wedding

Hindu ceremonies are rich in color and creativity. In the United States, parents have standardized this type of ceremony to avoid conflicts when the parents of the bride and groom are from different religions. In other words, when you think of these kinds of celebrations, you think of partying, not rigidity. The ritual includes various symbols such as a cord attached to the pair that refers to the protection. The sacrament becomes emotional when the father of the bride delivers his daughter to his partner.

Finally the grooms exchanged garlands, and he adorns his partner with a beautiful necklace. In the center of the ceremony the fire is lit, and the brother of the bride delivers three handfuls of rice to the bride as a symbol of joy.

Jewish Wedding

The bride and groom receive the blessing of a rabbi during this ceremony, who also announces the marriage conditions in a signed minute while the bride and groom place their rings and the groom recites his commitment. They have the tradition of breaking a crystal glass, after the wedding, as a symbol of joys and sorrows.

Oriental Wedding

Oriental weddings are often ostentatious celebrations marked at all times by the color red. During the ceremony, the bride and groom pay reverence to heaven and earth, their parents and themselves. The families of the couple are exchanging gifts a few days before the celebration.
