A rosary may have stones, beads, or knots. Basically anything that you can use to keep track of your prayers and meditations. A decade is one Our Father, and ten Hail Mary's. The rosary that most people have in their pockets are actually just 1/4 of the entire rosary, so they have five decades for 55 beads. The little string on the end has a Crucifix, one Our Father bead, and 3 Hail Mary beads so the normal rosary would have 59 beads.
The Wedding rosary is actually two individual and complete rosaries which meet and become one before the crucifix. Each rosary has 5 decades, each has its own center and pendant beads of 3 Aves and 2 Paters, then meet at the 3rd center to drop down into another series of 3 Aves's and 2 Paters before reaching the crucifix. As part of the ceremony to symbolize unity, a large loop of rosary beads or a lasso (lazo or lazzo) is placed in a figure eight shape around the necks of the couple after they have exchanged their vows.
