Quaker wedding

Quaker weddings are the traditional ceremony of marriage within the Religious Society of Friends, sometimes called "marriage under the care of meeting". Quaker weddings are conducted in a similar fashion to regular Quaker meetings for worship, primarily in silence and without an officiant, as Quakers do not have clergy, or a rigid program of events, and therefore differ greatly from traditional Western weddings. In some respects a Quaker marriage resembles a common-law marriage.
