* The bride's name goes on the wedding invitations first because her father is giving her away to his future son-in-law and it's an old tradition dating back centuries when a dowry (gifts from the bride's father) would be given to the groom. The parents of the bride also pay for most of the wedding.
On the wedding day, the bride starts early in the morning with the wedding makeup and hairdo. Bride and groom get dressed at their homes (usually in their parents' homes). The groom, groommen and parents leave for the church. Bridesmaids and bride's mother also leave first to the church. Bride and father come a bit latter as the father leads the bride down the aisle.
