The ceremony is a long thing in the church.  It is almost a full service, there is singing, and a complete sermon.  The sermon lasts for about an hour.


And they are standing for the entire sermon.


Then they kneel and the pastor prays a prayer of blessing for them.


Their parents come on both sides and pray a prayer of blessing for them.  I thought this was extremely touching, each one of their parents prayed for them, their mothers and fathers.


Then they themselves have to pray for their own wedding.  I don't think you could ever talk an American bride or groom into doing this at their own ceremony for everyone to hear over a microphone.

Mike, this is all so very interesting.  I am impressed.
