AND HOW DO WE DO IT IN FRANCE?

In France, weddings are widely celebrated family and social events, but traditions can vary.

Cultural context: Civil marriage is a legal requirement in France and usually takes place at the town hall, either before or after a religious ceremony. Parties and engagements are also occasions for gatherings, often with family and friends. Weddings are festive events, with meals, speeches, dancing, and so on.

A religious wedding (Catholic, Muslim, etc.) can follow a civil wedding, but it is not always required. The ceremonies can be very formal or more relaxed, depending on the couple's beliefs and preferences.
