Very similar to any other marriage ceremony really. The difference is, for the most part, the names of the deities invoked. We usually invoke Rosier and the Matrons or Patrons of the couple. We bind the couple's hands together. There's a whole bit with a unity candle, collaborative wine drinking, and a drop of blood and lock of hair. But it's such a long ritual there isn't space here to give you all the specifics. If you're interested in learning more you can e-mail me. I practice Daemonolatry.

Our religion asks the community (represented by those present) if they accpt the union and are willing to help the couple flourish, make their way and raise their children. The community says yes and then the couple is bound at the wrists for the rest ofthe ceremony symbolically tying them to each other. The vows are very different for each couple and are written either by the priest/priestess and/or the couple. The best ceremonies are when the priest/ess and the couple write them together. Then the couple does something symbolic like lighting a candle or jumping a broom, or anything that fits them and shows their connection to each other, to the gods and to the community. Then they are presented to the community and we party. It is kind of a glancing blow but hope this gives you a jumping-off-point.

The marriage ceremonies of Christianity are man made.
There is no instruction in the Bible about the conduct of marriage ceremonies.

In my group the whole body is involved in the ceremony. Questions on commitment come from the congregation. A spokesman for the body of the church then pronounces them married not a minister. To us it's the members of the Church where the power to speak for God lays not in a minister. After all the Church is His bride.... Jim

At great length.
Lots of catholic aerobics (sit stand kneel, lather, rinse repeat). Singing. Reading of a letter from Paul to the Corinthians or some such. A bit of preach. More aerobics. More singing, blah blah blah I now pronounce you....
In short, pretty much the usual.

Well I practice Islam and my represenative who my husband introduced me too brought two witnesses and got the consent of the two witnesses and then wrote the marriage certificate. I was in the bedroom during the entire thing.

Well, I am a Pantheist and my wife is an Atheist so we went down to a local wedding chapel and had a civil wedding. It was nice. I love her so much.
