How does the wedding take place? Wedding on the wedding day
Wedding is a special sacrament that should occur between two lovers. The wedding signifies only that the newlyweds appear before God and ask their blessings for marriage, which must last until the end of life. After death, married spouses find each other in heaven.
Many young couples try to combine their official painting in the registry office with the wedding ceremony. It is worth saying that this is not always correct. Most priests are sure that the wedding must be many years after the painting.
The fact is that the wedding takes place once in a person's life. It is impossible to break these bonds. That is why this step should be taken consciously, without coercion and emotion.
On the other hand, no one forbids marriage on the same day. This is the choice of each person individually. It's good to organize a wedding on the anniversary of the wedding: silver, for example. Even a year after the wedding, the wedding is a good sign.
Many say that the wedding gives marriage understanding, calm and harmony. The spouses concede each other and are patient.
There are rules for weddings:
- Only orthodox lovers can get married
- Each spouse must have a cross on himself
- You can not get married with your godparents
Those for whom the stamp in the passport are not the proof of love. The union of two hearts must necessarily be blessed by the Lord, so you do not need to rush with it. A detailed calendar will help you plan your ceremony carefully, so that the day in which it is implemented will be remembered for a long time.
When planning a wedding, be sure to avoid fasting and church holidays. Listen to the signs and preferably stick to the days that are safe. It is generally accepted that there are special days that favor the wedding in 2016:
- Fourth of November
- The twenty-first first of July
- The twenty-sixth of October
- The twenty-second of May
These days are dedicated to such Saints as God's Mother, Kazan Mother of God, Nicholas the Wonderworker.
