esküvk

Esküvők, or weddings, are formal ceremonies and social events in which two people commit to a marriage and form a long-term partnership. They may be civil, religious, or secular, and are often followed by a reception with family and friends.

Ceremonies typically include vows, the exchange of rings, and the signing of a marriage register, in the presence of witnesses. Attire and rituals vary by culture, religion, and preference, with music, meals, and dancing commonly featured.

Legally, marriage is a contract recognized by the state. Requirements—such as age, consent, and registration—differ by jurisdiction, and the arrangement confers rights and duties regarding property, inheritance, parenting, and taxes. Many places recognize same-sex marriages; others have restrictions or different legal statuses.

Cultural significance and customs vary widely. Weddings often express family and community ties through blessings, feasts, and dances, but practices continue to evolve and may emphasize equality, personal meaning, or sustainability.

Contemporary trends include micro-weddings and elopements, destination ceremonies, inclusive practices, and digital planning tools. Couples increasingly customize ceremonies to reflect values, beliefs, and identities.

Esküvők are a global social institution with numerous regional forms. Despite differences, they commonly mark a public commitment and the joining of families.
