- the service in church start with ep-oro or shere ne maria in the zaffa,
- then the declartion of the engagment, same 3 signings in weddings, 3 amens and 3 our father,
- thanksgiving prayer,
- Khenefran
- and then there is a prayer that is read by the priest at the end,
- then service ends as usual.
thank you for the asnwer, but what are: ep-oro or shere ne maria in the zaffa & Khenefran?
Eporo and/or Shere ne Maria are the normal hymns that said in the zaffa in weedings. weeding rite is here: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/cat/235
khen efran is the blessing hymn, "In the name of the Father..." the famous glorifiction hymn that is also said in weddings when the couples are fully married after the crowns prayers.
