A
Christian wedding reflects Christian beliefs through the recitation of Scripture and adherence
to customs or traditions associated with Christianity. The fact of the wedding, rather than the
option of cohabitation absent a government or church-sanctioned union, can, in itself,
constitute a Christian (or Jewish, or Muslim, or Hindu) act. With regard to the mechanics of
the ceremony, however, the Christianity is derived from the performance of the
church-sanctioned ceremony in a House of God (although, weddings can be religious without taking
place in a church, temple, etc.) in which Christian liturgy forms the basis of the proceedings.
Within the parameters of Christianity, though, there is wide latitude with regard to the precise
scriptural readings selected. The key element, however, is fealty to the teachings of Jesus
Christ, without whom, needless to say, there would be no Christianity.
