The Wedding Attire The bride typically wears a white wedding gown symbolizing purity, while the groom dons a suit or tuxedo. In some Indian Christian communities, the bride may incorporate regional elements such as a saree in white or off-white, often with a veil and floral accessories. Jewelry, especially gold, is an important part of the bride’s attire, reflecting Indian tradition. The Church Ceremony The wedding ceremony is generally held in a church, officiated by a priest or pastor. The ceremony begins with hymns, Bible readings, and prayers. The most sacred part is the exchange of vows and rings, where the couple pledges to love and support each other in the presence of God and the congregation. The priest blesses the union, and the couple is declared husband and wife. A wedding mass may follow in Catholic weddings, while Protestant ceremonies are often shorter and focus more on scripture and songs.
