Are ushers considered part of a wedding party?
An usher can be a part of either side - the brides' side or the grooms' side. An usher can be either male or female; can be a relative, a friend or even a member of the bridal party, usually a groomsman. If a groomsman also serves as usher, he will assist with pre-ceremony duties and after the guests are seated, he will take his position for the processional and stand-in with the rest of the bridal party.
Typically, you would want to have 1 usher per every 50 guests to direct guests to the appropriate places, to help seat and to ensure the ceremony runs smoothly.
**Note**... I use the word "he" for a groomsman, but a female can also stand in on the grooms side, but she would be called a grooms woman.
What are Protestant weddings like?
You must first obtain a marriage license from your local region ... usually the County Recorders office, or possibly a City office ... depends on your state.

What is the target market for wedding planner?
hi there!
If it was me, I would think firstly it would be a good idea to find out the average age of brides in the area you're looking to set up in. By targeting these women, your likely to have greater success in obtaining the most clients - as these are the biggest segment. But of course there might be reasons to target a different age group of women. You might even want to set up a same sex wedding planner service?

What finger does a girl wear her wedding ring?
In North America, it is not customary for the man to wear an engagement ring. However, if a couple decides to break from the norm, the ring is to be worn on the same finger as the female, that being the ring finger of the left hand. In some cultures and in certain parts of the world, the man and/or woman would wear the engagement ring on the ring finger of the right hand and then make the switch after they are officially married.
There are so many things that happen in a wedding. These include bridal procession, taking of vows, exchange of rings, reception ceremony and so much more.

What do they do at a Christian wedding?
The bride's mother should be escorted to her seat at the front of the church.
By Tradition, the Groom will arrive at the church before the bride and will take his seat at the front of the Church with his Bestman, however, this is not set in stone. The couple are perfectly entitled to enter the Church together. More typically, the bride will enter the church behind the Priest on the arm of her Father, or another relative or even a friend (of either sex) and followed by her attendants. However, she may choose to walk down the aisle alone.
If the bride is walked down the aisle by her father (or other friend or relative), then she will be supported on their right arm. On reaching the altar, she will have her hand presented to her husband to be who will stand on her right hand side.
The WelcomeThe Minister will open the service by welcoming the congregation and highlighting the importance of of the fact that your family and friends are there with you to share and witness your marriage.As this is a religious service, the minister will then read a passage explaining the Christian faith's belief in marriage and it is at this point that the minister will carry out the legal obligation of asking whether there is anyone who knows of any lawful reason why your marriage may not take place.
DeclarationsBoth the bride and groom will be asked to promise in God's presence and the presence of your family and friends to comfort, honour and protect each other and to be faithful to each other for as long as you both shall live.The minister will also ask the congregation to make a decleration that they will support and uphold your marriage.
VowsFacing each other, the bride and groom take each other's right hand and make your wedding vows:'to have and to hold
from this day forward;
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
till death us do part'
RingsThe couple then exchange a ring or rings as a 'sign of their marriage' and a reminder of the vows:'With my body I honour you,
all that I am I give to you,
and all that I have I share with you,
within the love of God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.'
ProclamationYou will now be pronounced as husband and wife! PrayersIn the prayers God's blessing and help is asked for you. There may be a prayer for the gift of children, but every couple will have their own feelings about this, so it's best to discuss the details with your minister. You may wish to help choose the prayers or to write your own. Readings and talk or sermonIt is usual to have one or more readings (one of which should be from the Bible) and the minister will generally give a talk or sermon. Signing of the registerAfter you have exchanged your vows, the bride, groom and two witnesses must sign the register as a legal requirement. Often the 2 witnesses are the bestman and the chief bridesmaid. However, this is a nice opportunity for you to involve other members of your friends and family if you so wish.Often music may be played during the signing of the register.
The FinaleOnce the register has been signed, the Bride & Groom will take their place at the alter once again, and the tradition is for them to walk down the aisle followed by the bridesmaids, the best man with the chief bridesmaid, the bride's mother with the groom's father, and the groom's mother with the bride's father.How much money should one give for the engagement party?
The amount I spend on any gift for someone depends entirely on how well I know them. If it was an engagement gift for my brother & partner I would spend up to £60, but if it was a friend from work then I'd spend £10-£15. I hope that helps a little! Remember, it's not about how much you spend at he end of the day, it's how much thought you put into the gift. The more appropriate it is for the recipient(s), the more they will apprecciate it.

Where can I get centerpieces for a wedding and how much?
- A good way to save money on wedding centerpieces is do them yourself or have a family member who is talented do them. There could be some flowers (even silk flowers as they look very real) with a couple of large candles in the center of the wedding table. On the guests tables perhaps a small fancy lantern with a candle burning; do simple arrangements for guests tables. Example: a nice flat colored or plain glass round dish about 4 x 4" and at one end have some nice stones and at the other end one medium candle with a small one; a few real or silk flowers around the candle. If you get a florist to do your wedding centerpieces suggest more for the head table and something simple, but pretty for the guests tables and it can range from $200 or up depending on what type of flowers you want (if some flowers are out of season.) You have to phone different florists with a plan of what you want.

Why does a bride wear something blue?
The next line of this old saying actually hints at its origin. The complete phrase is:
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.
A sixpence is a coin that was minted in Britain from 1551 to 1967. It was made of silver and worth six pennies. So this wedding tradition is definitely English, and many sources say that it began in theVictorian era.
Each item in this poem represents a good-luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them on her wedding day, her marriage will be happy. "Something old" symbolizes continuity with the bride's family and the past. "Something new" means optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead. "Something borrowed" is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family.
As for the colorful item, blue has been connected to weddings for centuries. In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolize love, modesty, and fidelity. Christianity has long dressed the Virgin Mary in blue, so purity was associated with the color. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns, as evidenced in proverbs like, "Marry in blue, lover be true."
And finally, a silver sixpence in the bride's shoe represents wealth and financial security. It may date back to a Scottish custom of a groom putting a silver coin under his foot for good luck. For optimum fortune, the sixpence should be in the left shoe. These days, a dime or a copper penny is sometimes substituted, and many companies sell keepsake sixpences for weddings.
