Answer

Orthodox weddings are a beautiful service! The marriage service in the Orthodox Church is divided into two parts: The Rite of Betrothal and the Rite of Crowning. Both rites are filled with images and references from the Old and New Testaments. In addition to praying to God for the couple being married for a blessed life together, these references offer role models of married couples, aids in our understanding of the symbols, and teach about the meaning of married life. As per our tradition, the congregation will stand for the entirety of this approximately forty minute service. However, for those who are elderly or disabled, there will be reserved seats.
