Church Weddings

 

Church weddings are conducted by christen people in a Sri Lanka who prefer to begin their new life with blessings of their gods. Almost all the rituals in such weddings take place in the church and these are associated with the holy mass conducted by the priest of the church. If the couple believes in two religions, then a mix wedding is conducted including both church wedding and Poruwa ceremony.

 

The bride and groom enter the church separately with their parents and relations. The church can be decorated to match with the colures and themes of the entire weddings. The couple gets married in front of their priest and two witnesses from both side sign the marriage and, the priest play the role of an intermediate witness. The exchange of wedding rings also takes place in this moment. The priest prays requesting protection from the god for the newly wedded couple and read a part of 'bible' offering further blessings. After all these rituals, the guests are treated with food and beverage. Also, the couple can conduct a separate function in a wedding reception hall according to their personal preferences.
