A Christian wedding ceremony incorporates traditional Christian elements and Scriptural readings. An ordained priest performs the ceremony reading passages from the Bible.

Entrance -

The ceremony begins with a procession of the celebrant (priest), the wedding attendants, and the bride and groom.

Gathering -

The priest greets the community and invokes God's blessings upon the couple, those gathered and the event.

Readings -

The priest and or family members deliver readings from the Bible as selected by the couple.

The Vows -

The Bride and Groom pledge their love and allegiance to one another.

Ring Exchange -

The rings are blessed by the priest and exchanged by the Bride and Groom as a symbol of their new bond. 

Sermon or Homily -

The priest concludes the ceremony with a lecture on marriage and the union of the bride and groom.

The Concluding Rite - The final segment of the service includes a blessing of the community and the new couple, a dismissal, and a final recessional from the church. Guests are free to exit once the couple, the wedding party, and the priest have recessed.

Reception -

After the ceremony, the guests are escorted to a reception where they give their blessings to the newlyweds.
