Orthodox Wedding in Italy
Orthodox Christians - a man and a woman, true believers of their God are getting married with a special face-to-face responsibility, and link their relation with the sacraments of the church. That’s not only a beautiful ritual, but also a deep understanding of the main essence of the religious wedding, which takes place by the following principles:
- Everlasting unity of two hearts
- Spiritualization of sensual love
- Belief in higher power of God
- Introduction of morals to your couple life
- Unconditional moral education in your offspring
If you have a great feeling and a firm intention to permanently join your hearts by the strong church ties of marriage, and at the same time the spirit of romanticism and love for an extraordinary journey never leaves you, then it’s certainly your time to get this offer from the “Italian Wedding” agency and arrange an Orthodox wedding in Italy.
