Orthodox wedding ceremonies demand more documents than civil ceremonies. If you wish to get married in a church, Greece has endless romantic chapels to offer. However, if not Christian Orthodox already, the groom, the bride and the best man have to be baptized Christian Orthodox.
Wedding rings and crowns are required as they symbolize the eternity of marriage and the newly formed union between the couple. It is customary for guests to throw rice at the couple as they dance to Prophet Isaiah’s hymn – a symbolism of prosperity and good luck. In return, guests receive favors for attending the ceremony.
