A Christian wedding is a ceremony that celebrates the union of two individuals in the presence of God and their community. It typically includes traditional elements such as scripture readings, prayers, and hymns, reflecting the couple's faith. The ceremony often takes place in a church or other sacred space, emphasizing the spiritual significance of marriage. During the wedding, the couple exchanges vows and rings, symbolizing their commitment to each other. Many couples also choose to include a unity ceremony, such as lighting a candle together, to represent their new life as a married couple. The celebration may continue with a reception, where family and friends gather to honor the couple.
