Question
Why are Michael and Kayli crowned during the ceremony?
Answer
The rite of the crowning is the apex of the wedding service. The crowns are representative of the glory and honor with which God crowns the couple during the sacrament. The Bride and Groom are crowned as queen and king of their own little kingdom, which they will rule with wisdom, justice, and integrity.
Question
Why do Michael and Kayli drink out of the chalice and walk around the table during ceremony?
Answer
The couple will drink wine, representative of the blood of Jesus Christ, from a chalice to symbolize that they will be sharing the happiness and sorrows of life together. They do this three times. Then, the priest will lead the bride and groom three times around the table on their first steps as a married couple.
Question
During the ceremony, why is everything done in threes?
Answer
Throughout the service, everything is done in threes in remembrance of the Trinity (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). The three-finger formation (with thumb, index, and middle finger brought together) used by those of Serbian-Orthodox faith represents the Holy Trinity, as well. You will see this as they cross themselves.

Serbian flag: For Michael's family who originates from Serbia. We are proud to carry on these traditions. American flag: For Michael and Kayli as they are proud to be American born and raised.
