At the wedding dinner and reception, is alcohol involved?

What are J.W's. Beliefs/practices about marriage? ALSO, is it frowned upon to marry out of your race (i.e. white and black)?

I am preparing to attend a marriage dinner (with relatives of bride) and wedding reception. As a woman, and non-J.W. would it be inappropriate to wear a nice pants outfit?

Anything else I should be aware of since I'm not familiar with that religion and lifestyle? Thank you.

I think a pants suit will be fine.
May I suggest holding off on doing research on your other questions until after the wedding? They seem a bit loaded, as though there could be problems enjoying the event.
Basically the religion is a Christian one but without the emphasis on the Trinity, with meetings in simple functional halls, without symbols. They refuse military service and blood transfusions. We all know they do service door to door with their publication, the Watchtower.

No there will be no drinking,

You will not see any difference in the wedding from one done at a Baptist Church or other Protestant Church.

There will be chairs in a row or pews. They will have area up front with a area for the speaker, the couple will stand up front, flowers and so on.

I will agree, it will be a simple inside, not a lot of décor.
Expect some good food, if the ladies of the church are cooking,


Don't ask too many questions ( or any) at the wedding, respect their day. I you want to find out more, I am sure someone will be glad to come over to your home latter and tell you all about it.

Do you have problems with the marriage?
