Again, however, there is no mention of which verses to use in the Bible or any other text, leaving those wishing to have a Christian wedding a fair amount of latitude in choosing the verses and prayers that suit them best (Fairchild 2009; God's Knot 2008). In addition, the more secular trappings of the ceremony are also chosen with an attention to the religious sanctity of the occasion. There are several pieces of classical music, for instance, that while again not dictated by any sort of religious doctrine are commonly used in wedding ceremonies (Fairchild 2009). Some commonly heard pieces of music at weddings include Pachelbel's Canon in D, Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," and several works by Handel (God's Knot 2008). Of course, Wagner's "Bridal Chorus" ("Here Comes the Bride") and Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" are also very popular choices for the processional and the recessional, respectively (Fairchild 2009).
Many of these elements also appear in non-religious yet traditional ceremonies, but there are also completely non-traditional wedding ceremonies....
These ceremonies need foremost to reflect the desires and lifestyle of the bride and groom, but should also take into account the feeling of both families, as well (Manage 2009). Many family members still expect certain recognizable elements of a traditional wedding, and it can be up to the person performing the ceremony to attempt to make everyone happy. In non-traditional ceremonies, however, ti can be difficult to know exactly what this is. The most important job is to foster the feelings of love and community tat all weddings embody.

Chinese Weddings Ancient Chinese weddings began with elaborate preparation, including the proposal and acceptance. However, the wedding itself was rather simple, and generally comprised of the bride and groom paying homage to Heaven and Earth, the family ancestors and the Kitchen God, Tsao-Chun, at the family altar, after which they drank tea offered by the groom's parents, and then bowed to each other (Chinese pp). This completed the marriage ceremony. Although
