How to choose a wedding day? Firstly, weddings cannot take place on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday throughout the year and on the eve of the twelve, temple and great holidays (you can find out more about these days in the church or from the Orthodox calendar). The rite of church marriage is not performed during the fasts - Great (48 days before Easter), Petrov (from the second Monday after Trinity until Peter's day), Assumption (from August 14 to 27) and Rozhdestven (from November 27 to January 6), in continuation Christmastide (from January 7 to January 20), during Shrovetide Week, during Easter Week, on the days and on the eve of the Beheading of John the Baptist (September 11) and the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (September 27).
Each couple can choose a church for their wedding according to their taste. There are no strict rules here. Some people want to get married in a large, magnificent temple with a huge choir and bells ringing. And for those who love privacy, a modest chapel is quite suitable, where the choir consists of two or three girls, but there is no need to be afraid of a large number of onlookers.
How to prepare for a wedding and what to take with you to church? If you take this ritual very seriously, then before walking down the aisle, talk to the priest. He will probably advise both of you to undergo a short fast (at least for a week), during which you will need to read certain prayers every day, and on the eve of the wedding, go to the evening service and receive communion.
There are a number of reasons why the church will refuse to marry people.
1. If any of the spouses married more than three times.
2. If the spouses are related by blood or spiritual (at baptism) or affinity (intermarried through the marriage of relatives).
3. If at least one of the spouses is not baptized and does not agree to be baptized before the wedding.
4. If at least one of the spouses is not a Christian.
5. If at least one of the spouses is in an undissolved civil or church marriage.
6. If at least one of the spouses does not want to get married (but does so at the insistence of, for example, parents).
To perform the wedding sacrament, you need to have a certain set of things with you, which you will be warned about in the church. The most important thing is that you must have passports with you with a stamp from the registry office, since without a certificate of civil marriage, a wedding in a church cannot take place. Also, do not forget that the bride, groom and witnesses must wear their pectoral crosses.
You will need two consecrated icons (the Savior and the Mother of God) and two wedding candles. These items can be purchased in advance, or you can buy them at the church shop immediately before the wedding. Future spouses must bring with them a small cotton or linen towel, white or with a pale pattern. Also, don’t forget to take two light-colored handkerchiefs (preferably new ones) to hold the wedding candles in. Those getting married must have rings with them.
If you want one of your friends or relatives to photograph you during the ceremony, then ask the priest for permission in advance. Some churches may not allow this or indicate to the photographer the place where he will have to stand.
Nowadays, many churches issue a wedding certificate; an entry into it can be made even before the ceremony, and the “crusts” can be purchased right there in the church shop.
How to dress for a wedding? If you decide to get married on a day other than your wedding day, then the requirements for clothing and your appearance will be the same as for all parishioners. The bride needs to wear a dress with a long skirt (below the knees) and a shallow neckline. Even if it is summer and very hot, do not wear transparent sundresses or sleeveless dresses. A modest short-sleeved blouse is more suitable for going to church.
A woman's head must be covered with a scarf, which is traditionally tied under the chin. If you choose a scarf with long ends or a light scarf, you can throw it over your head, cross the ends under your chin and throw it over your shoulders and onto your back. The main thing is that during the ceremony it does not start to fall off your head and you do not have to constantly adjust it and be distracted from the service. Find out in advance whether your crowns will be held by witnesses or whether they will be placed on your head. In the latter case, choose a scarf made of cotton fabric, since synthetics and silk are very slippery. It is advisable not to wear makeup on your face, as you will have to kiss icons and crowns.
If you decide to get married immediately after visiting the registry office, then make sure that your wedding attire matches the setting. Therefore, if the bride is wearing a dress with a deep neckline or open shoulders, then to visit the temple she will need a light scarf or an elegant cape.
For the groom, a modest suit or trousers with a shirt, turtleneck or sweater in calm tones is suitable. Of course, sportswear is inappropriate in the temple. A man should always enter church without a hat, so make sure your hair is in order. If the groom wears long hair, it is better to put it in a ponytail.
