Do Wiccans have funerals, baptisms and weddings and if so, how do they differ?

Yes, we have all those. A wedding is called a handfasting,and may be legal or not as the people prefer. If not legal, it is usually called for one year, and then performed again this time for 9 years if both parties wish to continue. I have done many, both legal and otherwise. Baptisms are called Wiccannings, and are done when the baby is new born, and then again, at age 13 or thereabouts, when the child is ready to commit, since we have no right to commit a child to something he/she might not want as they grow older. We do have ceremonies for weddings. Yes, we have funerals, sometimes an entire ceremony, or sometimes a high priest or priestess will speak a few words at a Christian ceremony providing the minister/priest will let us.
