What traditions make up a Serbian Orthodox wedding?

Hi there, I was wondering if you could find some info on Serbian Orthodox weddings. I am Catholic and my fiance is Serbian and would really like to know all their traditions. I can’t ask my partner as he has never been to one! Thank you in advance.

My fiancée and I have set the date for our wedding eight months from now with a celebrant, a nice, quaint small wedding. But my Dad is very ill and may not still be here come that time.

On Which Side Does Each Family Sit?

In Christian ceremonies, the bride’s family sits on the left, the groom’s on the right. Likewise, the bride stands at the left at the altar while the groom stands to her right. In a Jewish ceremony, it’s the opposite; the bride and her family are on the right, the groom and his are on the…

Is It Okay To Honour My Son With A Ring?

Can My Pets Attend?

Before you do anything, make sure the ceremony location allows animals. Once you’ve overcome that hurdle, enlist the services of an empathetic friend or family member who loves Alex almost as much as you do. Ask that person to walk Alex in and out of the service on a leash and sit near an exit…

Do Child Attendants Stand?

Let your ring bearers and flower girls have their moment while walking down the aisle, but then have them sit down with their respective parents. Their behaviour will be best if they sit with Mum or Dad. In addition, you may want to think about giving each kid a gift (perhaps a toy that’s handheld…

Can My Son Escort Me Down The Aisle?

Absolutely. In fact, if she would like all three of her sons to escort her down the aisle, that’s completely appropriate. The idea is for the bride to be escorted by the person (or people!) from whom she wants a blessing to enter into her marriage. Having all three sons walk down the aisle with…
