Unique wedding in Pangasinan
ALAMINOS, PANGASINAN – A bride and groom took an unconventional approach to their wedding by holding it in a cemetery, with both the couple and their guests dressed in black.
While it is technically possible to hold a wedding in a cemetery, it is not a common or traditional venue choice for obvious reasons related to cultural norms, respect for the deceased, and the solemn nature of cemetery spaces. Cemeteries are usually places designated for remembering and honoring the departed, and hosting celebratory events like weddings in such locations might be considered inappropriate or disrespectful by some individuals and communities.
Moreover, there may be legal and logistical considerations involved. Many cemeteries have rules and regulations regarding the use of their grounds, and special permissions may be required for events like weddings.
Couples seeking unique or unconventional wedding venues are encouraged to explore alternatives that are both memorable and respectful of the significance of the occasion. Choosing a location that aligns with the couple’s values, while also considering the comfort and sentiments of the guests, is often a key aspect of wedding planning.
Speaking of which, a couple from Alaminos, Pangasinan held their wedding at a cemetery while dressed in black. During the ceremony, the groom pledged to love his bride until his vision darkens.
The bride and groom identified as Marelinda Caranay and Ronald Verzosa, were seen wearing black attire during the ceremony. Their entourage, including the bridesmaids and groomsmen, also wore black. Verzosa mentioned that black is his favorite color, and he wanted their wedding to be unique.
Meanwhile, weddings must be officially celebrated in a church, chapel, temple, judicial chambers, or consular offices. The only exceptions are for weddings conducted in articulo mortis, in a distant location, or if the officiant receives a specific request for a different venue.
