I got invited to a Quaker wedding once while I was on a day trip. I walked into a meeting building because I needed the bathroom and they invited me to a worship service. The only way I can describe it was peacefully beautiful. There was a real sense of peace in the room, it amazed me how welcoming and warm they were

It was meant for you to need to stop there on that day at that time during your life! The Lord can hand us messages in such subtle ways.

Having several ancestors who were Quakers and reading their certificates from 300 plus years ago, it's great to see that the earlier traditions have remained.

I'm not a Quaker but have long felt there was 'something' about Quakers. This video was a joy! I felt myself drawn into the silence of community. What a lovely way to wed.

I’m not sure why KZread suggested this video but I’m glad it did! Not sure what I loved more, the video (which was interesting and sounded so lovely) or the comments! I’m a Catholic and had the traditional (Filipino) Catholic wedding and as I watched this video, I felt like “gee, I wish our weddings were this poignant and so beautiful”. For those Catholics who commented, thank you for re-educating me about what my faith background teaches so I don’t feel sad or jealous but to still appreciate my traditions just as much as the traditions laid out in this informative video. But, someday if hubby and I do a vow renewal ceremony, I’d love to follow the Quaker format! So serene and beautiful. Simple and lovely!

That idea alone is beautiful God will bless it and has blessed it either way. In silence or in another platform will not matter as much as the love you carry in your heart. The intentions are so important I think? God reads our hearts and minds.

Oh that was really beautiful to see. I was married at a Mass in 1964... And that was very very beautiful, too. And my husband passed away 9 years ago this August, but we were married for 48 years with five children, and I have four grandchildren, I will be 78 this year. It was very refreshing and beautiful to see how things are done and the Quaker weddings. I ask God to bless and inspire all these marriages that they LAST and that their children and grandchildren have great Joy in the relationship that they started so sweetly and sincerely. I never knew that that's how people got married in a Quaker Wedding, and it was really refreshing and beautiful, and so sincere in our Lord.🙏👑🕊️🌹 It also gave me great peace to see that things can be done differently, and still all the love and the blessings are THERE ❣️. THANKS very much for this different point of view on a wedding, which was really an eye opener for me, but it gave me tremendous peace in witnessing the love these people have and their absolute genuine commitment to each other. I just know that they'll have a long and beautiful marriage BECAUSE of the sincerity of the SPIRITUALITY in each other, and with each other In our Lord Jesus.. Their children and grandchildren will be VERY happy because of the absolute SPIRITUAL sincerity that FLOWS in the relationships. God bless and love everybody, and stay CLOSE to the Lord IN all things...in Everything we think, say, or do, let it REFLECT that we have CHOSEN our Lord Jesus, and we will be FAITHFUL to Him ALL our lives, as He IS the source of our joy and our hope and our blessings. AMEN 🙏👑🌹🕊️🤗💕

We were married in a United Methodist Church in 1968 and have been married now 54 years. We had a lovely wedding with 300 people * my dad had a large family* But the love and prayers of those around you make a large difference. Congratulation for all the years you and your husband had together and we can thank God when anyone has a marriage that stands strong in this world now it takes faith and prayer and the desire to remain married. ( On both parts). Unconditional love is what holds together with God in the center.

I will always remember my first visits to the Flushing NY Quaker Meeting House..I was so impressed by the values of quiet worship.

i really appriciate this video...very helpful to understand the traditions behind Quaker weddings

We don’t value mainstream weddings for us or our girls but this sounds just wonderful...Our wedding in early 70s was in my mums garden and I had asked the pastor to make it short and we asked neighbors and friends to pop in if they wanted. They did and we had fun. Our vows were and are heart felt...I wish I knew your beliefs earlier... I love how you express your Christianity.

I'm getting ready for my Quaker wedding in two months, and these videos are so incredibly helpful! So glad my fiancé brought me into this wonderful faith, I can't imagine a more beautiful and meaningful ceremony.

I really enjoyed it. It was beautiful. It is nice to see that there is some sanity out there (and depth) with weddings. What a beautiful path the Quakers are!!!!

I love watching your videos. I sit quietly now and pray. I haven't prayed to God in a very long time. It has been so nice getting back in contact with him. Quietly praying for me has been a God send. ❤

Thank you for making this beautiful video. Thank you to the lovely people who shared their thoughts and special moments.

This video recently popped up on my KZread feed and is the first of many I've watched. Thank you so much for your work. I have sat alone in silence first thing every morning for most of my adult life; it is a sacred time and is the most important part of my day. I had no idea that there are churches (meeting houses) that actually do that together. It is wonderful that your services are unplanned meetings where you sit in silence together and share with each other as divinely prompted (at least in the liberal branch of the Quakers). I would love to be a part of that. There must be very strong connections in your meeting houses because of this. I also love a lot of the other videos I've seen, particularly the one about SPICES. What I have seen so far strongly resonates with me. Thank you so much for your channel.

Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your lives & traditions.💕

Hi. Thank you very much for this video. I knew somewhat what to expect, because I had been to a Quaker funeral service years ago in Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia a ways. I grew up in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. I was raised in the Episcopal church, and had godparents, Rollie and Edie Ellis, who were Quakers. Well, my uncle Rollie passed away, so I went with my parents to his funeral at a Friends Meeting house. And the same as with the wedding, there is no minister or preacher or some other person upfront conducting a service. Only a brother I think it was got up and then explained how a Quaker funeral is supposed to go. He told the people there that if anyone so felt moved to do so, they could get up and say a few words or more about Rolland Ellis. Well, I remember sitting in quite a lot of silence, with no one getting up to speak for a long time. I remember my father getting up & saying some words about uncle Rollie. It was very nice! It was very different I have to say! But it was very nice. Yes, you couldn’t sit there and help but think about the person who had passed on, in this case my godfather.

I love this. It gives the older couples a chance to renew their vows the new couple.

Good explanation but I would like to see a video of a quaker wedding to really get an idea of the proceedings.

This sounds beautiful, real and personal. It reminds me of the actor Matthew McConaughey whispering vows in his brides' ear that were only between the two of them.

These videos are so lovely

This is lovely, I am not quaker but I value that rich silence that descends in corporate worship. How tender is that silence that bolsters up the couple as they publicly declare they are now 'one'.

This is unbelievably beautiful.

Thank you for this enlightening video

I grew up near Swarthmore so the Society of Friends was a presence in our consciousness even though our family was firmly rooted on both sides in the Catholic Church. I recall from my early childhood an aunt pointing out a woman on the street in Swarthmore who was said to be the last who used the classic plain dress, though my mother explained that the Friends generally dress simply and modestly. In Catholic school the Sisters explained clearly that it is the couple who minister Matrimony to each other. In fact there is a provision in canon law that in remote locations if no priest or deacon is expected for three months the couple can profess their vows in the presence of at least two witnesses and that will be that. I am a Catholic priest and I've always been sure to explain to any couple I'm preparing the sacred character of what they will be doing at the wedding. In our ritual there is no giving-away of the bride nor do I pronounce them man and wife. By the way I'm the family genealogist and discovered that my 9th great-grandfather Hans Landis was the last Anabaptist martyr in Zurich. My great-grandfather married a descendant, and his son, who had no detectable religion in my childhood experience of him, married a wonderful Irish-American Catholic lady who made darn sure that the progeny were Catholic. I've always had a fellow feeling for those of the Amish/Mennonite/Brethren tradition, maybe it's in the genes.

Thank you for sharing. Just to be clear Quakers are not Anabaptist - Amish/Mennonite. Very different churches and historical lineage. There's a Quaker meetinghouse in eastern Ohio that was the last or one of the last to practice simple dress maybe about 60 years ago. Now days Quakers are just modern people who strive to live a simple life. I have seen some people who choose to convert to Quakerism because they want to adopt the simple dress and live that lifestyle, but that's simply up to them.

'Simplicity' is the main thought and even in the special times, they meet it is always being respectful and dressing respectfully. Every minute and everyplace you are walking in the eyes of God.

Jon, could you do a follow up on the clearness for marriage committee process! I also recommend that folks rematch this and keep an eye on the listening partners🌚

Interesting, I like it.

I love simple and small weddings, my ex and I got married in a Premier Inn hallway with only 4 guests present. While I currently don't intend to marry again, if I were to marry my current partner (who is an atheist), I would like to either do a Quaker-style wedding or a simple secular wedding, whichever he prefers, although I would like to have an officiant. I'm estranged from my birth family so I won't have anyone to walk me down the aisle, so I would be happy to skip straight to the exchange of vows, signing the marriage certificate and a meal with family and guests. None of the silly bouquet throwing (I'm allergic to flowers), hen and stag nights (too crass), dancing and speeches, my partner and I are shy and dislike large crowds.

In a Catholic wedding the couple marry each other too. They administer the sacrament to each other. The priest is only there as a witness.

In how the marriage is established or "made", Quaker and Catholic thought seem very similar. In Catholic theology, the man and the woman communicate the Sacrament of Matrimony to each other, and the priest only functions as the Church's official witness. In extraordinary circumstances, non-priests can function as the official witness.

The more I read and see of the Quaker Faith, the more I am drawn to it. The statement of 'no one can say you're married but you, your partner and God '. I have always known i didn't want to be conventionally married. After my dad died when i was 23, someone asked me who i would have to give me away now. My answer was 'no one'. I would have done it for my dad, to honour him, but after that, I'm not chattel to be given away. I'm also bisexual, so that would have been an issue in church. I don't believe in the hyperbole of the bible or of Christ being the son of God. I believe God lives within each of us. We can have a conversation with God wherever we're standing, we don't need to wait till Sunday. Now, if only i could find the right person!!

I think i need to clarify my earlier post. I am not saying that there was not a man called Jesus Christ. I believe there was, but today, we would have perceived him differently, in the same manner as, say, Mandela, or Mother Teresa etc. I think he must have been an exceptional man, but I do not believe he was the Son of God. I also believe that the bible, written 200 years after Christ's death, it's a book of fables and parables. This is not too day, at all, that both the story of Christ and the teachings of the bible are not great sources of wisdom, comfort and guidance. They are. But i do not believe them to be 100% accurate representations, either. Neither do i underestimate the power of these things in the lives of people who wholeheartedly believe them. As I once said to my ex partners extremely devout Catholic grandmother (may she rest in peace), when she asked me about my beliefs, which, at the time are non existent, 'as much as you can't tell me there is a God, I cannot tell you that there isn't. If your faith brings you comfort and peace, who am I to not believe you?'.

good luck. you sound a bit like a pantheist as well, but I don't think pantheists have a church or "meeting room" like Quakers do.

This was beautiful, but not true for all Quakers. We are part of a pastoral meeting and the pastor does officiate the service. I think the unstructured meetings near us that have no pastor or only lay pastors will have no officiant. Edited to say, I am sure if a member requested a non officiant ceremony in our meeting it would be accepted, it is just not what most people request.

I once saw a documentary about the Quakers on PBS. It said that men and women lived separately in the community houses and that celibacy was the rule. It said that this way of life would eventually disappear unless new members asked to join. There were interviews with the elderly remnant of a large group and a lot of interesting history was included. This video is wonderful. It’s a reminder that Faith is a living thing . It grows and is nourished by God’s Love.

Modern Quakers lead normal modern lives all over the country.

I live in the USA. Yes these weddings are recognized by our country. In the USA in every state there are technically 2 ways to be married. 1 by federal and state law. This is called a civil union. 2 by God. This can be in whatever religious house, meeting place, etc you are a part of. To be married by the laws of state and federal law you go to the register of deeds office in your county, and get a marriage license. You can then go to the magistrate office and set up a time and date to be married. The magistrate is not a religious officiant. They are a person hired by that state to fulfill a lawful position. This is the way most civil unions are done, but there are others. To be married in your religion varies greatly, depending on that religion.You can get married only by your religion's rules or ways. You can get married only by the laws of your state and federal government, or you can do both. That is up to you. There is only really one difference. Getting married by state and federal law is the only way you are recognized by those laws. So, the only way for instance you can file joint federal tax returns, make legal decisions for the other if they can't due to illness, stroke, coma, etc., and many other laws that involve married couples. This is why same sex couples fought for the right fight to be married by state and federal law. Hope that helps.

The assertion that a Quaker marriage is different in that the couple marry each other, as opposed to an officiating ‘marrying them’ is actually incorrect in that this is exactly the same principle that underlies marriage in other Christian churches. The priest is there to witness the marriage on behalf of the church but it is the couple who marry each other in the sight of a God.

Don't worry. You can only learn by asking questions, so you are doing exactly the right thing. Or check wikipedia

The couple marry themselves? True. FOR EVERY WEDDING CEREMONY. An officiant ensures that the particular faith's tenets are adhered to or that state laws are complied with, but the couple marry each other.

That's not what they mean. The couple performs the ceremony themselves. No officiant, telling them what to say and do. They know what to do. Its a moment just between them and God.

No and yes. Quaker Oats call themselves “Quaker” because Quakers can’t lie. However, Quakers do not have much if anything to do with the company itself

No. The name and mascot of the oatmeal were chosen based on the stereotype of that era that Quakers were honest and trustworthy. But the chocolate companies Cadbury's and Rowntree's were founded by Quakers and run by Quakers for a long time!
