What give a wedding?

In the modern world, many hearts in love want to marry together not only on a paper basis in the face of the state, but also to take an oath of love and faithfulness before God. Unfortunately, not all newlyweds can decide on such a serious step, but most go to church to ask God for blessings to create a new family. It is worth noting that couples of any age category can resort to the sacrament of the wedding, as well as those who have spent a lot of time in a state marriage.

Since ancient times, it is believed that a married couple will live long and happily for many decades, since God himself has blessed their union. On the day of the wedding sacrament, lovers invite their parents, relatives and close friends, wanting to share these happy moments with them. Accordingly, each guest must present a present to the hero of the occasion. And here begins a little confusion among the guests, because it is easy to choose a gift for a wedding, but it is extremely difficult to choose a gift for a spiritual event.

Before you prepare a gift, you should understand what purpose the newlyweds pursue. For some, the mystery of the wedding is considered fashionable, so holding a standard wedding seems insufficient. It’s another thing if both spouses are believers and understand the depth and importance of this step, preparation for which begins in advance. In the first case, any thing of a material nature can be a gift, it can be an envelope with a certain amount and even vouchers for the honeymoon. But for the second case you will have to spend a lot of time and effort.

This does not mean that a figurine from a shop of jokes or another vulgar object will be suitable as a gift. You can pay attention to things that can create and decorate comfort in the house. Such a gift is sure to be remembered, it will be used by all family members, and some will even be given to a future generation.

Often, the newlyweds are granted at the wedding of church items. Mostly small icons depicting saints. In ancient times, it was accepted that relatives would give holy presents. The icon of “Mother of God” is presented by the parents of the children who are being crowned. Invited guests can donate their own handmade items. A sister in the sacrament of a wedding will find a gift in the form of a bible with an unusual binding. It is appropriate for a friend to hand a pair of flowers in a specially composed bouquet.

The future wife should find out more about the interests of her second half, and the future husband is best to look for a gift in a jewelry shop. Wedding rings will be the most memorable gift that will remain in the family for centuries.

Accordingly, they should give something special and necessary for both lovers.

• First of all, icons with images of saints are considered. The icon “Holy Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ” is very popular in this issue.

Preparing gifts for the sacrament of weddings is a very serious matter. It is necessary to present a useful and memorable gift, and also it should in no way offend newlyweds with religious views. Therefore it is worth considering the following recommendations:

• you can not give a watch, because they are a symbol of parting;
• bouquet composition should not contain chrysanthemums, they are mainly used at the funeral;
• household items, such as electrical appliances and kitchen appliances;
• it is undesirable to give money, but in some cases it is allowed;

• weapons at such events are in principle an inappropriate gift, especially for a wedding;

Having picked up an unusual gift for a young couple, many guests are faced with ignorance of the process of the sacrament of the wedding. The basics, of course, are known to everyone, but when to deliver gifts only those who have ever been to such an event know the gifts. In modern weddings, the wedding is arranged after the state ceremony. A young family is sent to church with a marriage certificate from a civil registry office. It happens that the wedding takes place on another day and even after several years of living together. But these nuances have no effect on the gift giving procedure.

So, if a wedding event is held on the same day as the wedding, then invited guests can give only one gift. Parents in this case will have to look for presents for both events. After the official ceremonies, the newlyweds are congratulated outside the temple of God, more specifically, during the festive meal.
