Greek Orthodox Weddings

 

A Greek Orthodox wedding is an ancient and meaningful ceremony. Although, essentially a Christian ceremony, it has many special customs that are observed, all symbolising the aspects needed to make up a marriage: love, mutual respect, equality and sacrifice. The service is often conducted in Greek and in the language of the host country; a large proportion of the service will be chanted.
