The Roce Ceremony is celebrated for the bride only in which all the ladies including family and friends of the bride apply a paste of turmeric on her face and body.

Wedding is the main ritual of Christian in which officially, mentally, physically, socially, legally the bride and groom becomes life partners forever. Weddings are held in churches in which the Father does some small rituals from the bible in front of Jesus.
The wedding starts with the bridal entrance. In this, the bride enters in wedding dress in the church with her parents.
Exchange of vows plays an important role in the Christian wedding. It is mandatory for the bride and groom exchanging their promises and vows in front of all the guests and each other. In this they announce their promises to live together till the last breath of life.
The Father asks “Do you *groom * take *bride*, to be your lawfully wedded wife, to share your life openly, standing with her in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, in hardship and in ease, to cherish and love forever more?”
He replies by saying “I do”.
The same question is asked to the bride, to which she replies saying “I do”.
The priest then pronounces them husband and wife and they share a kiss.
Bouquet Toss is done after following all the wedding rituals. In this bride throws a bouquet in the back side and it is believed that the one who catch that bouquet will be next to marry.
*Post Wedding Rituals:-
* Reception :-
After the wedding, a reception is held at a venue. The bride and groom perform their ‘first dance’ as husband and wife. They then cut a wedding cake. Toasts are raised and dinner follows. It is an occasion of fun, dancing and celebrating.
This takes place during the reception. The groom removes the bride’s garter from her leg with his hands or with his teeth while the wedding crowd watches. Just like the bouquet toss of the bride, the groom tosses the garter at all eligible bachelors at the wedding.
