What is a wedding
The wedding marks the beginning of the marital relationship . It may be a religious and/or civil act , according to the couple 's decision. At a general level it can be said that, at a wedding, two people express their intention to marry before an authority that is in charge of finalizing the union.
In a Catholic wedding, to cite one case, a man and a woman marry, who must complete certain steps before a priest declares that the bond is established. Civil weddings, on the other hand, are carried out before a judge or other state authority. In the latter case, according to the legislation, two men or two women can marry.
Given the importance that a wedding has on a sentimental and legal level, the usual thing is that the bride and groom want to celebrate it with their loved ones through a ceremony, a banquet and a party in which nothing is missing. For this reason, the organization must be meticulous and has to start months before so that everything goes perfectly.
The wedding can be a religious ceremony.
