After the Wedding Unlike many weddings among non-Amish, the Amish couple will not conclude their wedding with a honeymoon trip. Instead, they will spend the next day helping to clean after the wedding. The next few months will be spent living with the brides parents until they are ready to start a home of their own.

How does Amish marriage work?

Amish weddings are held during a service similar to the typical Amish worship service. The Bishop and ministers preside. The couple takes their vows before the church. After the meal, in some groups, the bride and groom visit the wedding meal guests with baskets of candy to hand out as favors.

Can Amish remarry?

In addition, members of the Amish community are allowed to remarry after their spouse passes. The courtship in an Amish remarriage also is very private and can be done through the mail, out of respect for the deceased spouse.
