Top 5 Meaningful Things to do During a Christian Wedding Ceremony

UnityREEL Journal cover, A Meaningful Christian Ceremony: a bride washes her groom’s feet during an outdoor wedding ceremony.

For couples who want Christ at the center of their wedding, a few intentional moments can say so much. These are five meaningful ways to honor your faith together.

A groom pours water over his bride’s foot during an outdoor wedding foot-washing ceremony.

1. Wash one another’s feet

A quiet picture of humility and service, inspired by Jesus washing His disciples’ feet. Let the moment reflect the care you hope to carry into marriage. See John 13:14–17.

2. Share your testimony

Invite your officiant to share the Gospel and the place of faith in your story. A personal reflection can help guests understand what this covenant means to you. See Mark 16:15.

3. Take communion together

If communion is part of your church’s wedding practice, speak with your officiant about including it thoughtfully—during the ceremony or in a private moment of prayer.

4. Make room for worship

We sang worship songs at our own Austin wedding, and that time remains deeply meaningful to us. Choose music that reflects your faith and gives everyone room to be present.

5. Gather for family prayer

Invite loved ones to surround you in prayer before or during the ceremony. It is a simple, personal way to welcome their blessing as you begin married life.

Women gather around a seated bride, holding her hands and resting hands on her shoulders in prayer.

Choose the moments that feel sincere to your faith and your story.
