Wedding process of Greek church

Greek church wedding, the wedding lasted about two hours, during which the guests stood for about one hour. It's really a little tired for everyone to "stand" and listen to the prayers, but the most tired ones should be the bride, the new wolf and the bridesmaid and the best man! Sure enough, after the wedding, I saw the bridesmaids take off their red high heels and walk barefoot. If I have to say one thing that impressed me most about Greek weddings, I think it should be "standing for too long"!

This Greek cathedral is located in the west of Vancouver. I have to go home every day, so I am familiar with it, but I have never had a chance to go in and have a look at the inside of the church. Probably, it has always been a mysterious place in my heart.

Therefore, I am particularly excited to attend this wedding. Basically, the wedding procedure for entering the church is basically the same as that for ordinary Christian weddings. The difference should be that the traditional Greek rituals are more complicated and lengthy. About two-thirds of the whole wedding time is for the guests who come to watch the ceremony. The lack of exercise makes me a little overwhelmed!

After the bride and groom put on the traditional Greek crown symbolizing peace and happiness, they accepted the priest's prayer again, and then the priest led them around the altar several times. I think it should symbolize something. Although someone explained it, I was still in a state of understanding. In short, after a circle, it means that the wedding ceremony is coming to an end.

In traditional Greek weddings, the bride, groom and bridesmaid must wear red shoes. It is not unusual for girls to wear red high heels, but it is a bit abrupt for boys to wear red shoes with straight suits.

After the wedding, everyone was busy taking pictures. It seems that after the wedding in this church, every couple always likes to take pictures in the park next to it and in the private garden of my community. To record romantic moments, of course.
