The basic structure of Baha'i events may be similar, but everyone seems to be it a little different.

So, for instance. At some Baha'i events you'll have a devotional portion, an administrative portion, and a social portion. But how you pray or how you socialize is up to the community.

Sometimes there are certain prayers you say for certain events. When Baha'is get married, for instance, they simply say, "We will all verily abide by the will of God." This is done at every Baha'i marriage everywhere, and is the only ritual-like thing that Baha'is do at a wedding. Otherwise it is all up to the people to decide how to do it.

That seems to be the gist of it as I see it...
