A Wedding Ceremony: A Wedding Ceremony Foreshadowing Your Life

Marriage is described as two people as partners in a personal relationship. There are two typical ideas of marriage that we know today. The first one that comes to mind is the one we all know, based on love, but there is another one that some may not even know of and its arranged marriages. Arranged marriage is not typically in our culture we know but in different cultures arranged marriages are their normal marriage. Throughout this essay, I will discuss the importance of realizing cultural diversity and how we apply the perspectives we gain from cross-cultural comparison to our own experience using central concepts about marriage to compare and contrast marriage in several cultures.

The wedding ceremony is a celebratory event romanticized by couples nationwide for its ability to unite creativity and tradition in a convenient package. One need only observe the plethora of wedding trends, from outlandishly alternative to stringently orthodox, to understand how important representing individuality remains among contemporary couples. In retrospect, much of the symbolisms attributed to these trends come from centuries of applied social significance; couples see the most value in a marriage celebration which allows them to flaunt their unique qualities as individuals while simultaneously modeling the long-standing customs of preceding weddings. In the 2002 film, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, director Joel Zwick illustrates the

The official wedding was carried out in front of a Justice of the Peace with only three guests and there was no honeymoon.

There is also the opportunity to go on the Caribbean Cruise they so wanted after the first wedding. This also presents the opportunity for the husband and wife to show their continued love and

The change on the contemporary wedding, from what the society has been seeing in the 21st century, is phenomenal. People approach marriage very differently nowadays. Individuals still look for their “would-be” spouses. However, it's not for love or companionship purposes but convenience. In fact, Dr. Strohschein is quoted saying in the talk show says that marriage evolved to a "capstone" to an individual’s life and no longer a cornerstone of life as it used to be (Woodford, Luke, Grogan-Kaylor, Fredriksen-Goldsen, & Gutierrez, 2012). This paper explores Strohschein’s views in the light of sociological concepts and theoretical paradigm.

Narrator: All summer the family worked extremely hard to prepare financially for Jurgis and Ona to be married in the fall. In which the wedding happened at the end of November, they rented a hall, and invited everyone, who then came and left them with over a hundred dollars in debt. It was a harsh and resentful experience, that forced them into a marriage of discouragement. The beginning of their marriage life was such a rough start even though they loved each other, and they dreaded the fact they couldn’t have a moment to enjoy it. There was times when everything felt like a hopeless dream and there marriage wasn’t bound to be a success. It was the next morning after Jurgis and Ona’s wedding they both were exhausted and weary.

Almost every little girl dreams of her wedding day. There is so much planning and preparation that goes into a wedding. There is the dress, venue, food, guest list, and so much more that is involved in a wedding. Mark Auslander’s essay explores the rituals of an average American wedding, and how some of these rituals have European ties.

In the late 1800’s through early 1900’s women and men were did not “tie the knot” like the women and men do in today’s day. In today’s world, women and men get married because they have many things in common, they are in love with each other, and they choose to get married to one another. In many stories written back then, readers can expect to read about how marriages were arranged and how many people were not having the wedded bliss marriage proclaims today.

“I didn’t think it was a big deal. It’s not like you weren’t going to invite yourself to the wedding anyways.”

Thank you all for coming and joining us here today. My wife, Louise Mallard, was a young, frail, and timid woman who was afflicted with heart trouble. Our marriage was not out of the ordinary, for I knew we both adored each other a great deal. Even though she is no longer with us I will continue to care for her memory as I cared for her throughout our marriage. Louise wasn’t just a devoted wife to me but a sister to Josephine and their relationship was very close indeed. In these hard times, Josephine has been a blessing to me. Josephine was there for Louise in the good times and the bad. I am sure Josephine will always treasure the memories of her sister close to her heart. Louise Mallard has left her memories to be treasured by her family

Uninvited guests wore their beatific harlequin masks - their false beaming illuminating the darkest of tunnels. Lozenge wall-lights glinted softly like paralyzed fireflies, azure curtains gushed from the roof as though they were remorseless cataracts, and anticipation wafted through the still air; with everything etched in gilt, it was almost imperceptible that anything could go wrong that evening, but it felt almost too saccharine to be true.

After struggling and saving, Jurgis and Ona are finally getting married. As is the tradition, the family hosts a big dinner which everyone in the

Marriage is a significant social event in contemporary society. It is a means of building new bonds between two individuals and their subsequent families. The foundations of memorable weddings are built on those that bring often-distant family and friends together for the occasion, while dressed in their most sophisticated attire, surrounded by elegant flowers, a night of dancing, captured through the lens of an exceptional photographer. Although Hinduism and Islam are two extremely distinctive religions, their matrimonial customs do share some comparable elements, like most other cultural wedding ceremonies. In both religions, they are devotedly obedient concerning religious and cultural practices in their marital ceremonies.
