Whats the difference between a Religious & symbolic wedding?

[Natashak]

I am sooo confused between the two!

So am I...I'd love to know the difference too!

A Religious ceremony would be a ceremony that demonstrates your religious beliefs (Catholic, Jewish, Christian ect) A symbolic ceremony is non-religious and can be written by the bride and groom if they choose. Does that make sense? My FI and I are spiritual not religious and are having a symolic ceremony that fits our beliefs

Hello Natashak,

 

Regarding your question, the answers are quite simple:

 

A Religious Wedding is a ceremony that is based mainly in your religion. It is a ceremony where prayers and scripture readings can be combined. But it is a no time a mass service.

 

A symbolic wedding, is one where no religion is taken into consideration. Rather, it is a ceremony where poems or songs can be mixed along. This type of ceremonies are usually closer to a regular civil wedding.

 

Hopefully this explanation can answer your question.

 

For either wedding, always look for a non-denomination minister

 

Have a great day!
