Canadian Trends and Traditions - Religious wedding ceremonies

We really didn’t want anything religious. When it comes to our vows we wanted to make a promise we believe in and getting married in a religious ceremony wouldn’t do that

For us, we really wanted to get married in church. We consider weddings to be religious and so it only made sense to follow traditions.

We thought about having the priest come to another location, but I insisted on having it in church.

It’ll have be modern with some religion just cause both our families are Christians

We have our beliefs but the ceremony will not be religious. We’re not big on the religious portions of wedding ceremonies so we’re skipping that part.

Our ceremony is completely secular. Neither of us are religious, though I am a much more outspoken "devout atheist" than my partner. It has been a priority from day one of planning that there be no religious elements in our wedding. A few feathers have been ruffled and pearls clutched by the older and more traditional family members, but we don't care, that's not who we are or what we believe/don't believe.

Nope we’re not having a religious wedding❌

Ours was not religious at all. My husband is not religious and it was important to him not to have a religious ceremony

Yep, we had a Christian service at an outside venue. Our faith is important to us, so it was the right choice for our ceremony.

Nope.. not at all ... simple and civil.

I’m getting married on the beach 🏖 with a very go with the flow spirit so not to traditional 😂

We will be having a Catholic ceremony. It was important to both me and my FH to have our faith intertwined in our vows.

We got married outdoors but we are both religious so wanted religious aspects in our ceremony.

Not at all since FH and I are not religious.

Will not be religious in anyway.

Ours will be a traditional Lutheran ceremony

Part of the wedding had 3 Hindu rituals (1 not done due to Officiant license) and non Christian service.

I would consider our ceremony non religious. We are getting married in the same place as our reception. Growing up Catholic i always pictured a church wedding but i don't go to mass anymore and my FH is not Catholic so since there are so many rules, ( uhm judge much?) probably wouldn't have been able to get married in the church anyway.

Non religious, though I’ve known non-religious people getting married in a church for aesthetic reasons because that’s all they see in movies/TV

View quoted message We are also both technically Catholic, but can't and don't want to get married in the church. His family don't really understand how we can get legally married without it being religious, so I hope they don't make a fuss on the day.

Nope! Our ceremony will not be religious and only 15 minutes up to 1/2 an hour long!

No. Neither of us are religious.

Not at all religious. Neither of us, or our families, are religious.

Oh no. Though we're both catholic, we can't marry in the church for a number of reasons, nor would we want to

Nope nope nope nope nope.

We aren't heavy into the whole church scene and why get married in a church when you could get married on a dock on the river????

No, our ceremony will be non-denominational

We are - a Greek Catholic Melkite ceremony (it's actually Lebanese, but the Greek is a holdover from about 100 years ago). Neither of us are religious and our original plan was to have a city hall ceremony, but his family (*cough cough* his MOM) is super traditional... so we're doing this. I'm not too bothered by it, because it's important to then, but I would have preferred a nonreligious service.

I wouldn't say our ceremony will be religious. We will be doing the traditional Irish ceremony of the handfasting.

Yes! we will be getting married in the church we attend but there wont be a sermon or anything during the ceremony

Non-religious for us. We're not religious, nor are our families.

Non-religious, which was a little contentious.

We haven't decided 100% on our ceremony, but I know we will be writing our own vows.

Our ceremony will be tailored to us.

Neither of us are religious, but our families are, so I am sure we will incorporate some religious elements.

No religious ceremony for us.
