Eastern Woodland American Native Wedding Ceremony.

Traditional Native American wedding ceremony.

The Eastern Woodland American Native Wedding Ceremony, this must be said because this is only speaking about our people.

There are still over 500 tribes in Indian Country and there are about 500 ways they may have to their native weddings, been to many of them.

Our wedding ceremony, a Traditional Wedding, should be something like many of the others however, it is not like the Funeral ceremony, because the public may enjoy the complete ceremony with the permission of the couple.

The beginning and ending prayer, like most sacred prayers should never be recorded, this is the leader and the couples request for marriage to Creator and thanks to Creator after the ceremony.

The prayer can be filmed just not the words. Only the Spiritual leader and the couple need the Creators blessing at the beginning, everyone will be blessed by Creator at the end of the ceremony.

If you are being groomed for our ceremony please understand, this can take from a few days to at least a month.

By studying correctly you will knowing that you will be blessed, remember, only Creator can bless!

Someone, in the favor with the couple, should gift a blanket, this person must also attend at least some of the pre ceremony.

Everyone gifting at the time of and with the permission of the Spiritual leader and the couple should attend at least some of the pre ceremony.

Sometimes the families and/or friends wish to gift a Turtle Rattle, Regalia, Headpiece, Sage, Sweet grass, and/or Tobacco for the ceremony.

As with the funeral ceremony, both families can asked to help with the meal after.

Anyone asked to, can join in the meal and whatever plans after the wedding.
