Wedding Planning

Right side. The groom will be standing facing the father on his left. It is then common practice for the father to place the brides arm into the grooms arm ... 'passing the watch' so to speak, insuring that the bride will be well taken care of as her father did for all the years leading up to matrimony.

When looking for a Christian speaker, it is more convenient to get him through a related church. A letter can be sent requesting a speaker, a preferred topic and the reason for the celebration.

• The groom stands to the right sideways to watch his bride come down the aisle and his Best Man stands beside him.
  

Unfortunately the bride's parents would pick up most of the bill and the groom's parents would pay the bar bill. If he was any type of a man he would offer to pay half the expenses. Approach him about this and see if he will.

Yes

White.

I think that you are asking about the ceremony, in which case, the groom waits for the bride at the end of the aisle along with the officiant, that is, in front of the altar, etc.

The bridesmaids will come down the aisle first, followed by the bride to join her groom with the officiant.

I got married in 1995, and ours cost around $10,000. We had about twenty-five people total, including the wedding party and musicians. We were not extravagant at all (used a string quartet from a university, simple flowers, small inn instead of a banquet hall, etc.).

Jews don't celebrate Christmas so there's no need to give us Christmas presents. If the person who's Jewish is a friend, they might even get insulted. Personally, if a friend who wants to give me a gift at this time of year takes the time to give me a Channukah gift or card, I'm truly touched because that really shows how much they care for me as a person (in no way do I expect Channukah gifts from friends, my family doesn't exchange gifts for the holiday).

A couple years ago, a coworker who does cross-stitch made small Christmas themed items for our team and she made a Channukah one for me.

Honor roll is when you get put on a list of students who have done well.

• If there is an engagement party then yes, the parents would give a gift. Many couples get engaged and don't have an engagement party and in this case it is not necessary for the parents to give a gift.
  

There are many messages that could be written on a bridal shower card from a mother to a daughter, try to make it as personal as possible. It would be nice to include memories from childhood, sentimental, funny or both. You could end with some marriage advice and sentiments for a happy life together.

A consultant works approximately 40-50 hours a week, depending on the client. With the client deciding whether or not they would like to pay overtime.

The answer below is simply not true. I can't stress it enough. The responder is 100% wrong. You absolutely can have a wedding in a Catholic church after you've had a civil service. How do I know? Because my Catholic wedding is schedule for this November, nearly two years after my civil service. Wrong wrong wrong.

A Catholic is not allowed to undergo a civil ceremony. If you mean to do a civil ceremony and then follow it with a Catholic ceremony you will be refused a Catholic wedding. The Catholic Church only sponsors the sacramental marriage that It witnesses between its members - it is considered an implicit denial of the Faith to undergo a non-Catholic ceremony for whatever reason and thus it is sinful. If you originally had a civil ceremony and then later found out you are not married since you as a Catholic require a Catholic ceremony, you will usually be permitted after consulting with a priest who must first examine the marriage history of you and your partner to ensure there are no impediments.

In some countries of Europe, such as France and Monaco, the State denies the civil existence of any marriage which has not been duly authorized by an agent of the State. Therefore, to be legally wed in the eyes of the law, all couples living in these countries must have a civil ceremony performed first, and afterward, if they care to, a church one. In the eyes of the Church, however, a civilly married couple is not married until after the church wedding.

In traditional Christian weddings, the mother of the bride will sit in the first or second seat in the front row on the bride's side of the aisle (the left). The bride's father usually sits in the first seat after escorting the bride down the aisle.

Along with the Invitation will be another small card that can simply say: _____________________will be attending (Note:) The guest should put their name on it and if 1 or both of them are coming. If they can't make the wedding they should put 'We regret we cannot attend your daughter's wedding.' Then on the small envelope to go with this card you will write or have printed by a printing company or done on your computer the guests name and address.

• Money is always appreciated by most newly married couples because they could buy something they need or put it towards their honeymoon. Only give what you can afford. Since the groom picked you as his best man you could buy him a watch (does not have to be cost hundreds of dollars) and have it engraved on the back and your name and the date of the grooms marriage. Silver plated flasks for alcohol are still used.

Junior maids are often children of the bride or groom. Sometimes the Bride and Groom have a flower girl, but if a young girl is 11 - 15 they are usually made a Jr. Maid or Bridesmaid.

When trying to consider a manageable guest list, generally about 20% of those invited will decline for one reason or another. Of course, this depends on the date of a wedding (some holidays are reserved for personal vacations, etc.) and also the number of out-of-town guests on the guest list.

• The bride and groom choose the minister they want to perform the wedding vows.

• You do not introduce the groom at the church. He will come out to the right with his best man and ushers behind them and stand by the altar When the bride and groom have been married and enter the reception hall they are introduced by the Master of Ceremonies (MC) as 'Mr. & Mrs.' At the reception there could be a reception line so guests can congratulate the married couple. If you get into a private conversation with another couple who may not know the groom you would then introduce him as your son-in-law John Doe.

There are Muslims in every country in the world. Islam does not have any specific ceremony or regulations, except that the bride, groom, and bride's representative have to agree, and there has to be a contract and a party (the marriage must be made public), and the groom has to give the bride a gift.

A Muslim bride, like all Muslim women, must wear hijab when in the company of men who are not her close relatives. Some brides, however, choose to abandon hijab at the party, but there is no Islamic base or justification for doing so. Also, what the bride wears can depend on her culture and whether the party has mixed sexes. At Arab wedings, often the women and the men are in divided sections, in which case ladies where whatever dresses they please. There is no particular style of dress for a Muslim bride.

For the lovely wedding, if the Bride's parents pay for it, and for the gift of their daughter and themselves as a welcome addition to their family. Your children's wedding day is a time to be on your most welcoming behavior , even if you have the slightest reservations.

Bridal shower gifts should be both thoughtful and personal. However, they should not be as expensive as wedding presents. Think of what the couple's shared hobbies are and choose appropriately.
