A marriage is a service where two different people or some are united in matrimony. Wedding customs and customs range greatly between ethnicities, ethnic categories, religions, countries, and sociable classes. Most marriages entail an exchange of matrimony vows by the few, presentation of any surprise (offering, ring(s), symbolic item, bouquets, money), and a general public proclamation of relationship by an expert amount or celebrant. Special wedding clothes tend to be worn, and the service is sometimes and then a marriage reception. Music, poetry, prayers or readings from spiritual texts or books are also commonly designed into the wedding ceremony.
Some civilizations have adopted the original Traditional western custom of the white wedding, when a bride would wear a white bridal dress and veil. This custom was popularized through the relationship of Queen Victoria. Some say Victoria's selection of a white wedding dress may have simply been an indicator of extravagance, but may are also inspired by the prices she performed which emphasized intimate purity. Within the present day 'white wedding' custom, a white dress and veil are abnormal options for a woman's second or succeeding wedding.
