Traditional Canadian weddings take place in a church, where family and friends are invited. Here comes the best man, flower girls, exchanging vows and rings, and the wedding music . The ceremony is conducted by the priest.
At the end of the ceremony it is traditional for the priest to ask if anyone present knows of any just cause why this man and this woman may not be legally married. Getting no response the priest asks the couple to exchange wedding rings and then the couple is pronounced husband and wife. Traditionally the newlyweds kiss to seal their union.
As the couple leaves the church, they are showered with rice or wheat - symbols of fertility. Then the couple is taken home, restaurant or other wedding locations, where a wedding reception takes place.
Following the tradition, the couple goes on a honeymoon. The honeymoon may last from several days to two or more months. Part of the money for the honeymoon is gathered in a wedding wheel, another Canadian wedding tradition . The guests form two lines, and they pay a dollar or more to dance with the newlyweds.
