Religious weddings are ceremonies that take place within the context of a specific faith or belief system. These ceremonies often include rituals, prayers, and readings from sacred texts, reflecting the couple's spiritual beliefs. Common elements may include the exchange of vows, blessings from religious leaders, and the use of symbols like rings or candles. Different religions have unique traditions for weddings. For example, in Christian weddings, couples may exchange vows in a church, while in Hindu weddings, rituals like the Saptapadi involve taking seven steps together. These ceremonies often emphasize the importance of faith and community in the couple's new life together.
