…and it was something that can’t be described with any words
A couple of days ago I had my religious wedding in a church 👰🏼♀️ ⛪️
And I’m not coqueting with you when saying no words can be chosen to fully describe it
The only thing I can manage - something between heaven and earth
And you know what, I’m so proud we have this beautiful word ‘венчание’ in Russian
And I am delighted we are legally allowed to separate these two occasions (a civil marriage and венчание)

Here’s a short socio-cultural guide for what and how it is in England
In England couples can legally marry in a variety of locations, depending on whether they choose a religious ceremony (e.g., Anglican, Catholic, or other faiths) or a civil ceremony.
⛪️Church of England/Anglican Church – the most traditional option. Couples can marry in their local parish church if they have a qualifying connection (e.g., live there, were baptized there, or have family ties).
⛪️Catholic Church – requires at least one partner to be Catholic, and pre-marriage courses (Pre-Cana) are usually required.
👰🏼♀️Registry Office – simple, legal, and non-religious. Popular for quick or budget weddings.
👰🏼♀️Approved Venues – many hotels, stately homes, barns, and even beaches can be licensed for weddings. These are the most popular choice for non-religious couples who want a scenic or unique setting.
