Ceremony at Sts Michael and Gabriel Antiochian Orthodox Church, Ryde
The gallery is the wedding day in full: 123 photographs in the order they happened. A companion gallery from the same day is also in the archive.
Sts Michael and Gabriel is the Antiochian Orthodox parish church on Belmore Street at the corner of Junction Street, Ryde, about 13 kilometres north-west of the Sydney CBD on the north bank of the Parramatta River. It belongs to the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese, holds its Sunday matins and liturgy in English with an evening service in Arabic, and has a community hall alongside. Ryde is one of Sydney’s oldest settled districts, with St Anne’s Anglican church of 1826 on Church Street nearby.
Veri photographed Anycie and Ronny’s ceremony here, a Sydney wedding of 123 frames built around the service at the church. An Antiochian wedding follows the Orthodox crowning rite, so the day has its set pieces: the betrothal with the rings, the crowns, the shared cup and the procession around the table, then the exit to the street and the family groups.
