What about Canadian immigrants? Weddings and funerals

Wedding and funeral etiquette in Canadian immigrant life

Weddings of Christians in Canada are usually held in churches. At the wedding, the priest should pray for them and wish them happiness and a long life together. The bride and groom exchange rings and swear before God that they will love each other forever. Then the bride and groom pray and sing hymns with the guests. When holding a wedding in the church, the groom and male guests sit on the right hand side of the church, the bride and female guests sit on the left hand side of the church, and the relatives and friends of the couple sit in the front row.

Canadians pay more attention to having children. For example, if parents are Christians, they should take their children to church and baptize them under the auspices of priests. The children's christening ceremony was very grand. When Canadians learn that their friends have a new baby, they will immediately call or send greeting cards to congratulate them.

After the death of a Canadian, a priest is usually invited to attend a mass to let the soul of the deceased ascend to heaven. At the funeral, relatives and friends will sprinkle flowers on the coffin in the grave during the priest's prayer. When people attending the funeral meet the relatives of the deceased, they should shake hands or hug, whisper a few words of condolences and leave after the funeral ceremony; If the ceremony is not held, you have to sit still 10- 15 minutes before you can leave. When attending a funeral, you usually buy a bunch of flowers, and attach a card with mourning words in black font to the flowers, put it in front of the tomb of the deceased or send it to the home of the deceased.
