A couple who decides to go on such a ceremony should be clearly aware of their intentions and be sincere with each other. This is a rather significant and solemn event. Therefore, you should approach him responsibly and prepare in advance, including morally.
Instructions
Step 1
It is important to know that it is not customary to celebrate a wedding on the days of observing any church fast. It is best to check auspicious dates for this ceremony in the church, since the calendar changes from year to year.
Step 2
Before the wedding, you must definitely visit the church, receive communion and confess. Usually, after a conversation with a couple, the priest invites them to read certain prayers, attend a service, etc.
Step 3
If the people who are going to unite each other by marriage have no obstacles to holding the wedding ceremony, you can continue preparing for it and choose the temple in which this event will take place. The choice of a temple is usually started in advance: two to three weeks before the ceremony itself. This is done so that the ministers of the church have time to explain the process of the wedding ceremony, determine the location of the invited guests, the possibility of filming the wedding with cameras and video cameras.
Step 4
Additionally, you can order a choir, bell ringing. These services are paid and the prices depend on the temple in which the ceremony will be held. Sometimes the wedding ceremony is carried out not in the temple, but in another place (this may be due to the illness of one of the spouses).
Step 5
When organizing this event, the future married couple will have the opportunity to choose a priest who will conduct the ceremony. The choice can be made from among the priests of the church in which the wedding will take place, or it can be a priest from another parish, but who has not yet taken a monastic vow.
Step 6
The wedding dress should symbolize purity, innocence, modesty, meekness. The bride's dress should be white.
Step 7
Those getting married during the ceremony will need wedding rings, special candles used during the wedding ceremony, handkerchiefs for candles, a towel (towel) made of the same fabric as the handkerchiefs and icons corresponding to the wedding ceremony.
Step 8
When ordering photo and video filming, you will need the blessing of the priest. You should also clarify in which places shooting is allowed. Of course, the photographer must be a professional, as the lighting in the temples is rather unusual.
