IIIa. Wedding Day: picking up the Bride
On the day of the wedding, the groom will send a carriage over to the bride's family to bring the bride home. The carriage is decorated in red and is carried by four servants. Musicians will accompany the procession and they will play wedding music all the way. A lot of gifts are also brought to the bride's family at the same time.
At the bride's home, the bride will put on her bright red wedding gown and the bride's parents will give her jewelry to wear.
IIIb. Bride Leaving Home
As the groom's procession arrives, the groom's spokeswoman will enter the bride's house and will carry the bride on her back. The bride cannot touch the ground with her feet until she arrives at the groom's house. In some regions, the bride's relatives will throw rice into the air, hoping that the chickens around will eat the rice instead of pecking at the bride. Sometimes, a red umbrella is used to shield the bride as the opening of the umbrella will symbolize her bringing many descendants to the groom's family. As the bride leaves the house, her parents and her relatives will bid her farewell as she rides the carriage and leaves home. Wealthy brides often have servant girls who will follow her to the groom's family and continue to serve her. These maids are known as ones who 'accompany the marriage'.
yep
If you don't want to invite your parents to a wedding don't tell them about the wedding in the first place.
what does the groom parents pay for at a traditional wedding
No it is not mandatory. Some parents (could be the bride to be's parents) may have the groom, bride, their parents and the wedding party out for dinner in the evening a few days before the wedding, but this is not mandatory either.
The duration of A Country Wedding is 1620.0 seconds.
A Country Wedding was created on 2010-03-13.
The family of the parents, perhaps some of those people who officiated at the wedding (bridesmaids / best man etc) and the children of the parents.
If the parents have paid for the wedding and reception and the wedding is canceled and the bride does not have the funds to pay her parents back for the expense then unfortunately the parents are stuck with the bill. If the bride can afford it then yes, she should offer to pay it back. The parents may decide not to take the money or they may be happy to receive it. If the parents gave the bride and groom money before the wedding to put towards a honeymoon; towards a house, etc., then yes, the check or money should be given back to the parents.
Yes, because you have legal documentation to prove it. But if it was vice versa and you got married in Albania, with a traditional wedding. Then you may have a posibility that you are not legally married.
There is no such thing as a totally free wedding ceremony. If the couple get married by the Justice of the Peace there is a fee; if they have a traditional wedding then the bride's parents pay most of the costs and the groom's parents pay less of a cost for that wedding and reception.
The parents of the bride are very hapy.
they do but some don't, it really depends what country you're in because all countries and states have their own rules.
