Traditional weddings are religion and culture specific.
Therefore traditional depends on who you are and where
you are from.
While I am familiar with many different faith traditions
and their ceremonies, I often encounter a tradition
that I am not familiar with. And very often I encounter
a variation of a tradition. These encounters I find
quite interesting, sometimes exciting, and I look forward
to them.
In the United States the general understanding of
traditional wedding is Christian, consisting of a processional,
gathering at the foot of the altar with the Bride
being given away by her father, and the exchanging
of marital vows.
Of course there are Jewish traditional wedding
ceremonies, Muslim traditional wedding ceremonies,
etc. Traditional marriage ceremonies are usually
based on a particular religion or faith tradition.
I am able to infuse aspects of various religions
into a wedding ceremony, creating a traditional
ceremony with the flavor of a particular religion.
