Getting Married Frequently Asked Questions Getting Married Frequently Asked Questions When should we connect with Premarriage Care? Contact the NorthRidge Wedding Coordinator as soon as you are engaged, with or without a ring or a wedding date. This is for all NorthRidge couples either getting married at NorthRidge, another local venue or a destination wedding. How do I find a NorthRidge pastor to officiate our wedding? The officiant is selected from information provided on the Premarriage Questionnaire. Once the Questionnaire is completed, the NorthRidge Wedding Coordinator contacts the pastor. If available, he will hold that date until the couple meets with him for their premarriage interview and the wedding is approved. Note: The Senior Pastor is unavailable to officiate weddings. What if we want a pastor that is not on the NorthRidge staff to marry us, but we want to be married at NorthRidge? Some couples have a pastor they identify with before transitioning to the Detroit area and request them to officiate their wedding. We are able to honor this request as long as the pastor is of like faith and belief, and his license also covers officiating a Michigan wedding. As a courtesy, the requested pastor connects with our staff to confirm participation. Couples will still need to complete the premarriage preparation provided by NorthRidge. Can a NorthRidge pastor marry us offsite? Yes, of course! Pastors are also available for destination weddings! Who will help us plan our NorthRidge wedding? The NorthRidge Wedding Coordinator will meet with a couple once they’ve completed their premarriage interview. She will go over details with the bride and groom in preparation for their wedding. What are the costs associated with a NorthRidge wedding? The NorthRidge Wedding Chapel has a seating capacity of 200. The cost is $500.00. This includes: Wedding Coordinator, AV-Tech support, use of facility including dressing rooms and rehearsal, use of NorthRidge decorations, set up and tear down of event. What is a customary honorarium for the officiating pastor? In reviewing similar churches, an appropriate honorarium is $300. Can we have our wedding reception at NorthRidge? Our facility is unavailable for receptions due to Weekend Services and the high volume of ministry activities. What is the general availability for a NorthRidge wedding? Weddings take place on Friday evenings and Saturdays by 12:00 noon. We are unable to accommodate wedding requests for holiday weekends, Sundays and the month of December. Do we have to be a member or active attender to get married at NorthRidge? Weddings at NorthRidge Plymouth are available only to active attenders and members whose weddings have been approved through our premarriage process. A list of local churches who let non-attenders use their facility is available upon request. When should we secure our wedding reception? If you’re planning on getting married at NorthRidge or using a NorthRidge pastor to officiate your wedding, we recommend you wait till your pastoral interview and your wedding is approved. How and when should we secure a marriage license? A marriage license is secured in the county in which you reside. Each county has certain requirements which usually require a valid driver’s license, birth certificate, and a small fee. In most counties the marriage needs to be solemnized within 30-33 days of application and a waiting period of 3-5 days. If couples reside in Michigan they do not have to be married in the same county they secured their marriage license, out-of-state residents must. My fiancée lives a ‘long distance’ from NorthRidge. How are we to participate in the premarriage preparation process? Some couples are faced with a ‘proximity’ issue in preparing for marriage. Since all pertinent information is sent via email, we can receive vital information that will aid in determining the status of your relationship for marriage without a fiancée being present. Note: In some cases, e.g., military service, there are restrictions which will limit the participation in the sessions and seminar. The assigned pastor will review such cases and determine alternative plans for premarriage care. How many people does the NorthRidge wedding location seat? The wedding Chapel seats up to 200 guests. Can we see what the wedding room will look like? The Wedding Coordinator will meet with a couple to show them the Wedding Chapel and related decorations provided by NorthRidge Church. Are there any circumstances where NorthRidge would not marry us? Sometimes, there are indicators denote areas of concern to proceed with a wedding. The pastor will review these concerns with the couple during the premarriage interview and request a postponement of marriage. If the couple is willing to consider these pastoral recommendations and work in specific areas of their lives or relationship, we are willing to walk with them in their journey to prepare for a lifetime of marriage. We will marry a couple after they successfully work through the extended preparation plan designed for them. Does NorthRidge perform vow renewals? Our Pastors are happy to officiate vow renewals. A Pastor honorarium is requested and a small fee may be required for room usage depending on number of guests and if using church decorations. Pastors are available for vow renewals both on and off campus. NorthRidgeChurch.com.

KNEZ SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY • NUMBER 39 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

As the 10th edition of ICAS is taking place in Asia, it will be greatly beneficial and intellectually challenging to invite Asia scholars to use this platform to discuss and exchange ideas on how we can better understand the changes that are happening in this region today. The conference is envisaged as an opportunity for participants to question the old paradigms and to search for new ones that can help us to analytically investigate the emerging economic, political and social order, as well as to conceive a realisation of the need for a new methodology to help us in better dealing with the problems of environment degradation, migration, authoritarianism, ethnic conflict, inequality, commoditisation of culture, and so forth.

  • Wedding and Marriage
    WEDDING AND MARRIAGE A wedding is usually a very important event in someone's life. With marriage we show the world that we are in love and we want to spend the rest of our life with that person. In different countries people have different customs when it comes to weddings. In India for example a tradicional wedding is arranged. Arranged marriages are sometimes even better because you don't expect too much from your partner. A traditional Slovene and British wedding are quite alike but with some differences. In Britain and Slovenia you get married either in a church or a registy office. In the US people often get married in a house, garden or in a wedding chapel. There are special names for some people in the wedding ceremony. The woman who is getting married is called the bride and the man is called the bridegroom or groom. The man has a male friend with him called the best man and the bride has some female friends called the bridesmades. The bride is usually wearing a long white dress, a white veil and flowers in a bouquet. She is also supposed to wear something old, new, borrowed and blue. The groom wears a sout or a tuxedo, everyone else wears their best clothes. In traditional British wedding the groom is not supposed to see the bride on the day of the wedding until they meet in church. The groom arrives at the church first and waits inside, near the altar. Friends an families sit in rows in the church.

    CHRISTIAN WEDDINGS: RELIGION AND RITUAL IN CONTEMPORARY JAPAN A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIʻI AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN RELIGION (ASIAN) DECEMBER 2012 By Jesse R. LeFebvre Thesis Committee: Helen Baroni, Chairperson George J. Tanabe Christine Yano ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the rise of Christian weddings within the context of contemporary Japan. In particular, it challenges the manner in which religion as an object of study is traditionally understood in an effort to reveal both the popularity and significance of Christian (and, more generally, religious) wedding ceremonies in a society where the vast number of members claim to be “non-religious” (mushūkyō). The author draws on numerous interviews with individuals both inside and outside the wedding industry to reveal the manner in which Japanese individuals with no proclaimed religious identity, affiliation or faith still vicariously rely on the religious. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ……………………………………………………………………………………………….ii Chapter 1: Christian Weddings, Religion and “Non-religion”…………………..…………….1 Definitions of Religion and “Non-religion: Defining Religion and Exploring the Religious in Contemporary Japan ............................................................................... 2 “Non-religiousness” as Religion in Contemporary Japan ................................................ 6 Methodological Parameters ..............................................................................................
