For those of you who do not know, a wedding is a legal ceremony that commences a union between two people. Marriage is still a legal contract despite the religious background and requires that the couple sign the marriage certificate in front of witnesses before the marriage can be legally accepted.

There are a great many wedding traditions around the world but the terms bride and groom before the couple are married and wife and husband seem to be universal. There are many factors that can affect a wedding tradition and those of religion, race and social class for example, ca make it very complicated.

Performed by a Christian priest or vicar, the Church wedding ceremony continues to be top of the list as a wedding venue. The traditional white wedding as we know it is really only a service that is popular in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and some other Commonwealth countries.

Double weddings are quite rare as they usually entail getting tow couples to marry at the same time and same place. This type of wedding ceremony is often organized by a person that has a sibling that wants to get married at the same time.

A destination wedding is any wedding in which the engaged couple and or a majority of their guests travel to attend the ceremony. It doesn't matter exactly where you travel to, whether it is in Egypt or just to Las Vegas it will still be considered 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. Usually the accommodation for the guests is part of the package and usually includes a Sunday lunch or something similar.

Internet weddings seem to be something that has come about recently and a number of people are now using this method to seal their vows. There are even guides for information on how to go about an internet wedding with information on people that can carry it out for you. An internet or online wedding can also refer to a situation where a couple may broadcast their wedding to friends and family in other parts of the world.

Local civil authority weddings are called civil weddings as they do not take place in a church and must be performed by a locally elected or appointed official. Although it may sound clinical, civil ceremonies usually make no reference to God. Many civil wedding ceremonies take place in local town or city halls or courthouses in judge's chambers.

I hope this has helped with your understanding of what a wedding is.
