Marriage is one of the seven sacraments of our Coptic Orthodox Church. The wedding ceremony is called 'The Crowning Ceremony', because during the ceremony the groom and bride are crowned with crowns symbolizing kingship and queenship over the new kingdom, their home. As a holy Sacrament, marriage requires canonical prayers. In those prayers, we call on God's Spirit to bless the bride and groom and to sanctify their union in and with the Lord as they now establish a church in their new home.
