While parents do not select who their children will marry, approval must be given. The couple planning to
marry are announced at a church service . The wedding service itself, held in the home of the bride’s
parents. After the service, the benches are put together to form tables for the wedding meal for about 200300 guests. In the afternoon, the young people enjoy singing, and after that those who have stayed through
the day join the evening meal.

After spending the night at the bride’s home, the next day the newly-weds help with the
clean-up from the day before. The couple then spends upcoming weekends visiting
relatives, sometimes stopping at five or six houses between a Friday and Sunday night.
Wedding gifts are usually given to them at this time. By the next spring, the couple is usually
ready to move into a home of their own, and the groom will begin growing his beard. This is
an Amish tradition that signifies a man is married.
