Is it proper for the mother of the bride to wear a red dress when the brides dress has a lot of red in it doesn't that take away from the bride?

No woman going to the wedding should wear the exact color of the bride. In the case of this bride wearing a wedding dress with a lot of red in it then it is fine if the mother wears a more solid color of dress or it will take away from the bride. The bride is the focal point and thus, the wedding party and female guests should not dress in the colors of the bride.This is up to you, the bride. Oftentimes, the bride will want the mother of the bride to wear a dress that is complementary to the colors of the wedding. In this case, the secondary color of your wedding dress is red. So, it is appropriate for the MOB to wear a solid red dress or a dress that has red tones in it alongside another color or colors. This really does not take away from the bride's dress or the bride herself.

Does the catholic church allow the father of the bride to give her away?

No, "giving the bride away" is a pagan custom, I believe it was adopted in protestant ceremonies, but it has no place in a Catholic wedding ceremony.The concept of "giving the bride away" is a throwback to the mediaeval idea that an unmarried woman is the property of her father and that the a married woman is the property of her husband. A bride may well be accompanied into the wedding service by her father, but after that, he plays no further part in the ceremony.In the ceremony in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, the question is asked "Who gives this woman to be married to this man?" and the bride's father or another man answers "I do". This has not formed part of the Catholic ceremony since the Council of Trent in the 16th century.


Can a non-Catholic father walk his daughter down the aisle at her wedding in a Catholic church or does he have to be Catholic?

If you're referring to him acting as her escort, then no he does no have to be a Catholic, but if you are talking about the 'giving away of the bride' then no need to worry because Catholics don't do this in their weddings because the Bride should be freely giving herself to the Groom.

Why does the bride's name go first on wedding invitations?

* 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.

Did he 'give away' Daneel Harris at her wedding to Jensen Ackles?

Please identify who is the 'he' you are referring to. Traditionally the bride's father 'gives away' the bride. Sometimes if the bride's father is unavailable, another male family member/friend of the family will fulfill this role. A new trend is for both parents to 'give away' the bride.


What if the bride and groom forget to throw the bouquet and garter is their any fable to this?

There is no bad myths or fables connected with the bride who forget to throw her bouquet away or for the groom that did not throw the garter to the single men. Sometimes the bride may want to keep her bridal bouquet for different reasons such as: an ill mother who could not make it to the wedding; giving it to her grandmother; putting the wedding bouquet on a deceased parent's plot at the cemetery or, the bride may want to keep the bouquet for herself and have it preserved by a professional. As far as the garter it is just a traditional myth that whatever single young man catches the garter will be the next one to get married.


Does the brides father give away the bride at a Jehovah wedding?

A Jehovah Witness Wedding is the same in most respects to say a catholic wedding. The only true difference is that the ceremony is not held in a church (never) and their is never a priest but a speaker, from the couples Kingdom Hall. So to answer your question the brides father typical gives away the bride unless the mother does it.
