Wedding

celebration · traditions · culture

Exchange of vows. At most weddings, the two people getting married make promises to each other called vows. These promises are the heart of the ceremony and show their commitment.

Different everywhere. Wedding traditions change wildly depending on where you live, your religion, your family's culture, and your background. What happens at one wedding might be totally different from another.

Special clothes. People getting married often wear fancy or traditional outfits for the ceremony. Brides, grooms, and guests usually dress up in their best clothing.

Music and readings. Weddings often include songs, poems, prayers, or readings from books that are meaningful to the couple. These add beauty and emotion to the ceremony.

Celebration and party. After the ceremony, many weddings have a reception where guests celebrate with food, dancing, and more festivities to mark the special day.
