How does the bride honor her father at her wedding when he has recently passed away?

WikiAnswers condolences to you and your family. As you know if the father has passed away an uncle; a good elderly friend or even a brother can walk down the aisle with the bride and he can give away the bride to the groom. Some brides who have recently lost their father will ask the photography (or a friend with camera) to go to the grave site of their father (before going to the reception hall) and the bride will pick out one flower from her bouquet and place it on the grave site; the person taking the pictures of the bride doing so are personal memories to her. It would be at the wedding reception that it is acceptable for the bride to rise as the first toast and make a 'short' speech about her father not being at her wedding and then say 'please rise and raise your glasses for a toast to (put your father's name here.' The reason the speech should be short is the wedding is suppose to be joyous event (which the father would want to see) and not a sad event; yet honoring the father and including him in the wedding. Instead of throwing the bouquet (have the florist make up an array of flowers in cellophane with a ribbon on it, the bride can leave her wedding bouquet (after all pictures have been taken) at the grave site of her father and the other array of flowers in cellophane can be thrown to the single women at the reception.


When do the bride and groom have food served first dance cut the cake phases or steps of a wedding reception?

These are the steps of what the bride and groom do at a reception:The bride, groom, parents and wedding party may have some pictures taken on the grounds (a park or beach area that has previously been agreed upon) or where the restaurant or hall is before entering into the hall. This can take an hour to two hours and the guests can mingle and have drinks during this time.Then the bride and groom are announced as Mr. & Mrs. by the MC as they enter the hall.If there is a Reception Line then the bride, groom, parents on both sides and the wedding party will line up so guests can wish the bride and groom happiness in the future. The reception line can be done earlier in the evening or after dinner.Then the bride, groom and wedding party sit at the head table. Guests generally clink their wine glasses with a spoon so the bride and groom will kiss.Toasts are made and it's appropriate either before dinner or after dinner or both.Dinner is served as soon as the Chef feels it is and the MC will announce when dinner is served.After dinner dance music starts and the bride and groom start off the dance. Then the bride dances with her father (if you have a close relationship with your father a good song is 'Butterfly Kisses' because it is difficult for the father to give his little girl up to another man. This song says it all.) She then dances with her new father-in-law and any brothers-in-law. The groom dances with his mother; then his new mother-in-law and any sisters-in-laws and other guests may come up to dance with the bride or groom.The MC will announce the cutting of the wedding cake and the photographer as well as guests will take pictures of this special event.The bride will then throw her bouquet (it is also acceptable for the bride to leave the reception hall alone with the groom to get into their 'going away outfits' ... normal clothing) and once back throw the bouquet to the single women. The traditional way is the bride is still in her wedding dress when throwing the bouquet. This signifies that the single woman who catches the bouquet will be the next one married. Then the bride sits on a chair and the groom lifts her wedding dress just above her knee (garter should be just above the knee) and take it off his bride and throw it to the bachelors and this signifies whatever bachelor catches the garter will be the next man married.Then the couple leave the reception hall for their wedding night or leave on their honeymoon.

Why do brides carry a bouquet of flowers?

About the time of the Middle Ages, people took their one bath of the year about April, when the weather was starting to warm up. Marriages traditionally took place in June and, by that time, people were starting to smell a bit ripe. Therefore the bride would carry flowers to help cover the offensive odor. That is the theory I have read somewhere.
