Meeting the Fockers
It is thought to be bad luck if the bride and groom see each other on their wedding day before meeting at the altar. Whether true or not it is much more romantic for the groom to see how beautiful his bride to be looks as she comes down the aisle in her wedding dress.
there are many ways that you could put this. i agree on bride to groom if they were the only choices. the only reason that i say this is because the brides father has to give the bride away to the groom. so i would say bride to groom but other than if there was maybe another choice it would be bride and groom.
Most of the time the two sets of parents contact each other and set something up so the bride/groom to be are at dinner along with them. If this isn't possible then it's generally up to the bride to be to set up a nice dinner either at home or at a nice restaurant.
Taking care of each other.
* The Bride and Groom sit in the middle of the head table and the bride is on the Groom's right; then her Maid (or Matron) of Honor; then the Bridesmaids. To the left of the Groom is his Best Man and the Ushers.
Appliances,and other stuff acceptable
I think that it is more usual for some friends of the bride or groom's parents to host a shower or some of the bride's girlfriends but it is not improper for the groom's mother to host one if she would like. If there are other showers being given, I would not do another one if I were the groom's mother. It is nice to have the groom's mother and the bride's mother just enjoy the showers as guests.

The groom stands to the right sideways to watch his bride come down the aisle and his Best Man stands beside him.
Ideally the wedding colors must be picked by both the bride and groom, but it can be also decided by one of both as long as the other has no objection. However, I prefer to follow the first one. Colors are very important thing to decide, because the other parts like decoration, gown, make up, cake, and flower really depend on it.
I believe that engagement party speeches should be limited to the Fathers (of Bride firstlt, then Groom) and to the Groom and or the Bride or both if they so wish. This occasion is to enjoy the celebration with family and friends and should not be burdened down with too many or too long winded speeches. Ken
A reception area is either a hall; a room in a hotel; golf course, etc., where the wedding reception is held for the bride, groom and guests. There will be alcohol and other beverages; food for the guests; toasts to the bride and groom and dancing.
