The Ceremony

The wedding began with a sacred ceremony at Saint Anthony Coptic Orthodox Church in Maitland, Florida, one of the most beloved churches for Egyptian families in the Orlando area. The Coptic Orthodox wedding tradition is rich in symbolism, with the crowning ceremony, prayers in Coptic and Arabic, and blessings from the priests.

The church’s atmosphere was filled with reverence and joy. As incense rose and hymns echoed through the sanctuary, the couple exchanged their vows before God, surrounded by family and friends.
