The Unexpected Rules and Customs of the Amish Community

Amish Weddings

Amish weddings are commonly held in November, which is the least busy month for the community since harvest season is over. Amish ceremonies can last up to four hours. There are no rings or kisses exchanges, no caterers or photographers, and definitely no DJ. This is usually a big celebration, though, and the entire community is invited.
