In this study, I explain the pattern of Ukrainian Canadian weddings during the last fifteen years. The description is based mainly on my fieldwork materials in Edmonton, Canada. I divide the Ukrainian Canadian wedding into three phases: the pre-wedding phase, the wedding day (the church service and the reception), and the post-wedding phase. For each phase, I identify the Ukrainian elements, including the symbols and rituals that can be included to express a Ukrainian identity.
