Wedding ceremonies practice exam questions
d) Explain the important features of a marriage ceremony in two different
religious traditions. (You must state the religious traditions you are
referring to) (6)
On the mock exam a lot of people lost marks on d questions because they
only mentioned one religion or didn’t make enough points.
To answer the question you can almost use bullet points. Make three points
and explain for each religion and explain each one
e) “Religious wedding ceremonies are just an excuse to dress up.”
Do you agree? Give reasons or evidence for your answer, showing that you
have thought of more than one point of view. You must include reference
to a religious belief in your answer.
