A "Wedding" is an important
event organized to celebrate the marriage of a man and a woman to begin a new family; the most important unit of a
society. Therefore, a marriage is a social binding that is strengthened by the legal, cultural and the religious systems from the times immemorial.
Incidentally, a marriage also forms a new link between the two families to raise their next generations. Therefore we believe that these
facts contribute for a marriage being a ceremonial event - wedding.
The traditions followed at a wedding is mainly influenced by the religion.
All religious activities of a wedding focus on invoking blessings on the bridal couple by both their families and the loved ones. |

A wedding consists of a compulsory legal element, imposed by the legal system of a society, and two optional elements; religious and
social. However it is these two optional elements, which usually go hand in hand, to contribute to the ceremonial effect of any wedding. The social element of a wedding is that the ceremony happens to be the formal event of introducing the friends and the relatives of the two families to each
other.
