"Yes, I DO"
昨天,去參加了一場正統英國基督徒的婚禮,跟平時電影中看到的畫面相差不遠,
但身在其中的感受,確真的不是看電影時可以感受到的哦~~
既然是基督徒的婚禮,當然是在教堂舉行囉!
這次的Christ Church, Fulwood可是Sheffield地區教堂婚禮的熱門地點,
空間大、挑空高、最重要的是教堂的氣氛真的很好,而且這教堂或許因為學生多,
所以,連這裡聖歌的編曲也輕快很多呢~~
英國的婚禮邀請函一般分為兩種,一種是觀禮卡,一種是觀禮卡+宴會卡(reception),
"觀禮卡"一般會發給很多人,只要你想來為新人祝賀都歡迎來參加,
而"觀禮宴會卡"則是發給比較親近的家人、朋友,當然…這些也就是會送禮的客人
(一般是在婚禮前,依個人與新人的親密程度,在新人開出來的禮物清單中,挑一個來送囉~~),
這些客人在觀禮後,會接著參加之後的宴會,可能是在自家庭院、大飯店,
也有可能像這次,是在教堂裏的另一個大廳用餐…
當然,我們是只有觀禮卡的囉!所以…宴會的部分就無法報導啦~~
這次的新郎(Chris)和新娘是Tangni(一個台灣同學)的朋友,所以…我算是跟著去湊熱鬧,
一開始還很尷尬,因為跟新郎只有幾面是緣,而新娘是見都沒見過,
但去了才發現,因為新郎是international cafe(一個教會與學生連繫的固定活動)的頭頭,
所以…現場來了不少國際學生,我們也就不顯的怪了…
(最開心的應該是那個愛哭愛對路的Taipei Kid吧!不過也還好有他這攝影師跟去,否則我那天照的相片,還真的是能看的沒幾張…哎~~照相真的還是要專心,那天太忙著跟朋友打招呼了)
(Prayer)
一開始,就像電影中看到的,新娘是捥著爸爸入場,再交給新郎,兩人站定位後,牧師會為他們說些祈禱文
(Declaration of christian marriage)
接下來就是新郎、新娘宣讀他們的婚約誓言,也就是一般我們聽到"Yes, I DO"的部分囉!有趣的是,牧師真的會問全場的來賓是否願意給他們祝福,而我們當然是大聲的說"yes"啦~~
(Ephesians, Revelation and Address)
新郎、新娘坐下來聽幾個代表朗誦聖經中關於婚姻的一些段落
之後,牧師會正式宣告他們的婚姻關係
(Prayers and leaving)
最後大家在共同幫他們祈福,就算是完禮,新人也會"型式"上的走出禮堂…
怎麼說"型式"呢? 因為他們幾分鐘後馬上就會再走進來跟大家照像了
上面這些不同階段的儀式,都是由全場聖歌的大合唱串連的,優美的弦樂配上全場和諧的歌聲,這才是最令我感動的…那感覺很美,很有參與感,好像每個人都用歌聲唱出了他們的祝福……我們後來還在想,如果不是教徒,要在婚禮來個大合唱,還真的是很難…連歌都想不出一首…哎~~
上面那張卡,是進場前發的婚禮流程與聖歌歌詞,雖然我們也都沒唱過,
但聖歌的編曲算是很容易上口的,雖然也是會出小錯,但整體上還是可以跟著唱的…
那卡裏最有趣的,是它寫上了新人未來的住處與各種連絡方式,
並希望大家可以把照片e-mail給它們…算是很有效率的處理方式…可以學起來哦!

啊~~真對不起啦! 像棠妮跟Alison在那都認識很多人,我是"對路"的,所以也不敢亂找,要不是Alison有經驗說,這種活動是大家可以跟的,那大師兄應該也跟不成吧!不過…這次我了解了,下次有機會,一定會通知大夥的囉! 但我想…還是請Alison直接辨一場比較快吧!這樣我們才有機會參加reception的部份啊 ^_^
我的照片哦~~哎!那天可能ISO調太高,又忙著交際,照像不夠專心,總之…真的照的有點慘。所以…就沒這麼想貼了,沒看我還跟Y.P.Liao借了幾張照片來充場面啊~~~
什麼我認識很多人?
我也是愛哭愛對路跟著妳去才發現我認識新郎!哈!
下次有婚禮一定會通知大家一起來湊熱鬧
不過不是我的啦
還早ㄌㄟ!
