What is a Quaker Wedding?

In an atmosphere of quiet and reverence during the period of worship, the couple rise. Taking each other by the hand, they make their promises.

When the couple are seated again, the marriage certificate is brought for them to sign. Then someone assigned to do so reads the certificate aloud. The meeting then continues in silent waiting upon God while those assembled share in the worship through prayer and meditation or spoken messages.

The meeting closes by shaking of hands. All present are asked to sign the wedding certificate as witnesses to the marriage.

Why the prayer flags?

These Nepalese-style prayer flags hang in front of our home. They represent the peace of our life together, and welcome all who visit! The symbols that appear on the flags are in Bengali script: Ghan = Wisdom, Santi = Peace, Nirmol = Purity, Ashroy = Protection, Shou Vaggo = Prosperity, Prarthona = Prayer, Prosanty = Serenity, Ashirwad = Blessings.
