They Have Very Simple Weddings

The Amish believe in keeping things simple, and this includes their weddings. Their ceremonies typically begin at 8:00 am and last several hours—three to three and a half hours, to be exact. After a short sermon, the bishop takes the couple aside and gives them a few words of advice and a blessing.

After that, the couple exchanges vows, and later on in the day, the family of the woman getting married holds a reception at their home.
