I saw a picture of a wedding in an Orthodox church in Indonesia where the crowns were decorated with peacock feathers.
 
When my neice was married in the Armenian Church, besides the crowns, there was a point in the ceremony where they stood face-to-face, foreheads touching, looking into each other’s eyes while the priest prayed. It seemed to go on for a long time. Is this a custom in other Eastern Churches? I thought the entire ceremony was quite beautiful.

That is an interesting custom. I personally have not seen this custom in the Chaldean ceremony.

God bless,
