I was a guest at a Christian Marriage Service. I walked through the door and i saw the font, it was just by the door, quit an odd place to put it. but someone told me it is where babies are baptised, it symbolises entering the house of god. There was a pulpit(reading stand), it where sermons are carried out. It There was also an altar this shows where Jesus had the last supper with his disciples. In communions bread is broken which semoblise jesus body and red wine which represents his blood. As i am not a christian i did not know much marriage. When i was at the Church i sat in seat. As i sat down every Turned there head to the door. There was a brismade walking down the alie.  Followed by quit an old man and the bride she was wearing a big white dress, because white symbles purity. I thought to my self that he was a bit to old for her. But i was accatly her dad giving her away. This symolies her giver her away. As the father is responsible for her christan up bring. When she got to the altar, her father left her and sat down in her seat. She hade now joined her groom ( Husband to be) and there was also a best man there and a bridemades. Then the vicar comes out and welcomes evreyone to the church. He asks if there is any reason, in law, why the couple should not marry. This is because if there is a reason they shouldn't get married like allready being marrried it would be agenst the law. The couple both have to give consent to each other. If they did not do this, it could end up with one perrson in the marrige happy. The couple have to exchange vows these are the vows
