Best Answer

In order to be married in accordance with most states in the US, you must speak some kind of vows during your ceremony to be considered married, even if it's just "I take you to be my (spouse)". It's not a matter of want, but a requirement of the ceremony.

Can a couple have a beach wedding wearing bathing suits?

* A couple can get married in anything they want. Some have even bungy jumped or sky dived! Some couples prefer to be different.

The couples should choose what they really want to do as it's their wedding.


Is there suppose to be separate wedding and bridal shower gifts?

A wedding shower is a modern social contrivance. Whether you subscribe to it or not is up to you. Wedding showers were instituted to help equip couples who were starting their first household together. Nowadays, when many couples have either lived together or lived on their own prior to marriage, wedding showers are more often used to upgrade what the couples already have or for the couples to obtain luxury items for their households. There are even couples, that etiquette considers greedy, who request cash only gifts for showers and/or weddings that they want to use for their honeymoon, house downpayment, or other expense.

Is it wrong to continue to wear your wedding rings after your divorce on opposite hand?

I don't know if there is a right or wrong, but wearing a wedding ring might confuse people as to your marital status. In Spain, for example, married couples wear their rings on their right hand. People might think you are married but from another country. I guess my question would be: Why would you want to wear a wedding ring once divorced?
