the service may be quite lengthy and involved, and often religious, it is not complete until the legal aspect is fulfilled. So although you may think the most important aspects are the religious requirements, or that the wedding ceremony readings are appropriate, the law requires that the couple sign the marriage certificate in front of witnesses before the marriage can be legally accepted. So the wedding ceremony decorations and wedding ceremony music, although important to many of us, are not essential!

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.

In terms of the ceremony, you\’ll probably need to decide on the wedding ceremony music between the four of you, and likewise the wedding ceremony readings and the all important wedding ceremony decorations. So make sure you have similar tastes before sending out invitations for a double wedding.

Accommodation for these is normally arranged at the place where the service is going to take place and where the other events are also being held.

Civil weddings have to be carried out by a local justice of the peace, judge, even a mayor can carry out the ceremony and most places out side of a church will use one of these people.

Often, this type of service will take place in a judge\’s chambers, town or city hall or any other specially designated place.

I hope this has helped with your understanding of what a wedding is even though the information has been mainly based around Christian beliefs.
