50 French Wedding Phrases and Vocabulary

French Wedding Phrases

I was sitting at home thinking about what to gift my friend on his most special day of life. My dearest friend would be getting married soon.

At that time, I was surfing my television when I came across a wedding show telecasting on a channel. It was a Christian wedding. The church in which the marriage was taking place stood superbly decorated. All the guest were waiting for the bride and the groom. People were sharing their pleasure of being at the wedding venue and giving their blessings and congratulating the couple.

It was a French documentary show with subtitle. And I read la félicitations (Congratulations), bon mariage (happy marriage), le marié(groom), la mariée(bride) and many more wedding related words repeatedly. Here is when unknowingly I first got introduced to wedding phrases in French.

I was the beginner of the language when I learnt these phrases and was curious to share it with my friends.

I did a funny thing to flaunt my language learning skills.

My friend who was getting married was also a beginner in French. I shared the list of all wedding phrases and vocabulary with him in the gift box. I so nicely decorated the list and kept it in the gift box to surprise him. Don’t misinterpret me I kept an adorable gift in the box along with the list. I was sure that he would not feel bad as we both are good friends and it would make his gift a memorable one.

For me, French is undoubtedly a romantic language (une langue romantique). You can also find the list of words that I have shared with my friend to help him in enhancing his vocabulary :). So I can do the same for you. Look so sweet of me!!!
