When two people decide that they are prepared to join in marriage and spend their lives together the Caney Circle is prepared to provide a beautiful and meaningful ceremony to establish that union. The Caney wedding ceremony is usually guided by a Caney beike who has legal ministerial capacity to sanctify a marriage. 

The details of the ceremony can vary and they can include a wide variety of particulars that may be added by the bride and groom at their pleasure. However, there are certain constants in the Caney wedding that must always be included.

These three constants are:

* The conjugal blanket
* The sharing of the foods
* The story of the first couple

Aside from whatever details and additions desired by the couple, the Caney beike is required to remind the couple of their responsibility to each other. This admonishment should go along with a reminder of the existence of a sacred male and a sacred female divine force within each human being and within each conjugal union.

 Steam-driven purification ceremonies or “sweats” have always been a well-documented common tradition among the native peoples of ancient Mexico and Central America. 

We in the Caney know that the Tainos participated in this form of ritual healing tradition which they may have brought from South America when they first migrated into the Caribbean, or they may have learned it from the Central American peoples whom they came into contact with when they arrived there.
