The Ceremony
Our wedding ceremony will follow the traditions of the Orthodox Christian Church. Orthodox weddings are rich in symbolism and are entirely ceremonial. In a traditional Orthodox ceremony there are no spoken vows.
The ceremony includes prayers, blessings, the exchange of rings, and the crowning of the bride and groom with wedding crowns, which symbolize honor, joy, and the creation of a new family. The service also includes a shared cup of wine and a ceremonial walk around the altar, representing our first steps together in married life.
The ceremony is sacred and reverent, and guests are kindly asked to remain seated, silent, and respectful throughout. Photography and movement may be limited during certain parts of the service.
We are so grateful to have you with us as we celebrate this meaningful and ancient tradition.
For all the days along the way
