Today, I will talk about the Amish weddings. Most Pennsylvania Amish weddings take place from late October through December. Traditionally, they are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so there is time in between to get ready for and clean up after each. Even so , it can get pretty busy during the ‘wedding season’, with some Amish going to two or three weddings in one day!
While parents do not select who their children will marry, approval must be given. The couple planning to marry are announced at a church service . The wedding service itself, held in the home of the bride’s parents. After the service, the benches are put together to form tables for the wedding meal for about 200-300 guests. In the afternoon, the young people enjoy singing, and after that those who have stayed through the day join the evening meal.
After spending the night at the bride’s home, the next day the newly-weds help with the clean-up from the day before. The couple then spends upcoming weekends visiting relatives, sometimes stopping at five or six houses between a Friday and Sunday night. Wedding gifts are usually given to them at this time. By the next spring, the couple is usually ready to move into a home of their own, and the groom will begin growing his beard. This is an Amish tradition that signifies a man is married.
