Why does the brides parents pay for most of the wedding?

It's traditional that the family of the bride pays for the wedding. In old times, the bride usually came with a "dowry", which was money or belongings, for the new couple.

Humorous view:

Some will say it's because the husband pays for the rest of his life...

Do you bring a gift to the wedding if you already sent a donation to the charity the bride and groom requested?

No. The same applies if you had a gift sent directly to them through a store. But if you feel you should bring something, a wedding card is always nice. And if you want to be sure they know about the donation (or to expect the gift), you can include a message about it in the card.

Or you could take a bottle of Champagne etc., which is always a good gift for celebrating events.

Why you where wedding ring onleft ring finger?

This merely a trdition in Western countries. Other countries, like Germany, Russia, Greece, Spain, Venzuela, and Poland, the wedding ring is worn on the right hand. The Western tradition of wearing the wedding ring on the 4th finger of the left hand goes back to classical times. This finger was thought to have the "vein of love". By couples wearing the wedding ring on the 4th finger of the left hand, they were symbolically proclaiming their eternal love for each other. Today, the left hand is a matter of tradition and etiquette in Western countries.

How long does a bride have to send her thank you notes for wedding gifts that were received before the wedding?

Thank you notes for gifts received before the wedding should go out within two weeks of their arrival. Besides the fact that it's good manners to respond promptly, there's a practical reason for this etiquette rule: finishing them now diminishes the stockpile of un-thanked gifts awaiting your return after the honeymoon. Since notes for gifts received on or after the wedding day should be sent within a month (here you get a little more time), you'll be thankful to have already handled the early arrivers.

Why do bride and groom drink wine at their wedding?

It's more of a religious tradition coming fromm biblical times, as an example from when Jesus turned water into red wine at a wedding. Now we recommend to the bride to drink white wine so she doesn't stain her dress just in case it spills.

Does the brides name or grooms name go first on a wedding program?

What to write in husbands wedding card?

Only you can answer this question. It needs to come from your heart and have it wish for his future. Think about the day he was born and what you wanted for him, think about him as a small child, and how he has grown up. Take these thoughts and put them in the card. All you wanted for him and all you hope for him.

If you give a bridal shower gift do you also need to give a wedding gift?

You don't HAVE to give a gift, as you have already provided your time and hospitality and probably most of the food, BUT if you are really special friends, a small but meaningful gift would be nice. A simple silver charm bracelet with a starter charm or an anklet would be a relatively long-lasting, inexpensive gift.

What should I do with my new bride at first night?

I assume you mean "What should you do on the honeymoon." Before the big night, prepare: you may want birth control devices, lubricant, maybe even a good sex manual. No need to make a big production out of it -- just have what you need in advance.

First of all, the two of you will probably be pretty tired from all the activity, so I would suggest something relaxing -- perhaps a nice hot shower or bath together. Then, you might rub each other's backs. And legs. And fronts.

While you're relaxing, you might want to talk about sex -- if it scares you, what you would like to do, whether or not you want to try for a baby. Don't be afraid to ask questions. This is a time to be very honest with each other (and hopefully to get each other excited). Since you're married, you could take a good look at each other's private parts -- nothing to be ashamed of now!

We all have "erogenous zones" -- parts of our body that make us feel sexy when they're touched or stroked. Explore each other's bodies and find them. (Just about everyone finds their lips and tongues erotic -- that's why we like kissing! Women usually like having their breasts played with, and a lot of men like it, too.) Talk to each other, ask for more of whatever feels good.

Eventually, you will probably find yourselves eager for penetrative sex -- penis into vagina. Once again, go slowly (maybe try fingers first). Let your spouse know what feels good. (And if something doesn't feel good, you should gently discourage it!)

It's not unusual for a guy to ejaculate pretty quickly the first time around. But just because he came, that doesn't mean it's over! She needs satisfaction, too. Don't worry if things don't go perfectly the first time around. You have a lifetime of practice ahead.

Who goes with bride to pick out her dress?

This should be the brides decision but personal circumstances should be taken into account. When I was getting married, I went dress shopping by myself to narrow down my selection. Then I took my mother and my future mother-in-law (her 2 daughters were married at the courthouse with only witnesses present). Afterwards she thanked me for including her and providing her with an experience that she would not otherwise have. Now it's my turn. My only daughter was killed just weeks before we were scheduled to go dress shopping. My son is getting married and his future bride has decided not to include me. She is aware of my feelings but says it is not 'traditional.' That explanation doesn't sit well since their wedding plans are not 'traditional'- my son will be standing with a best-person and not a best-man and my son is actively involved in all the wedding plans. I can say that her decision has tainted the way I think of her now. Advice: Yes, this is your day but please be kind and considerate in your decisions and communications.

Do the parents of the bride buy her a gift?

  • The groom can give the bride's parents a gift from himself, or from him as well as the bride. He (or him and his bride) can buy each parent a gift, or a joint gift for both parents. Something sentimental/meaningful is the most common route to go. An engraved picture frame with a photo of bride and groom is a very thoughtful choice that you can't really go wrong with. However it all depends on what you think they would like. In addition to the the sentimental gift, you can also get them something they can use and enjoy, such as a nice bottle of wine, or a gift card to a nice restaurant.

Is the photographer invited to the wedding?

* Unless the wedding photographer is a friend of yours then no, he/she is not invited to the wedding rehearsal dinner. It's generally the bride, groom, their parents, bridesmaids, maid of honor (flower girl or ring bearer if you are having either or both.)

How do christians celebrate their wedding in a traditional way?

Weddings among American Christians frequently have several activities.

First: The brides friends may give her a shower. This is a party where they shower her with gifts. These may be anything from a pot holder or a dish towel with a cute saying from a causal acquaintance to something expensive. Everything gets the same amount of applause.

Second: There may be a women's party for the bride.

Third: There may be a men's party for the groom.

Fourth: The wedding ceremony is a religious ceremony usually held in a church or chapel. A protestant pastor or Roman Catholic Priest leads it. He (or she) speaks about the importance of marriage in a Christian context. The couple exchange vows. And he proclaims them married.

They walk down the aisle and out of the church together.

They will return later for pictures.

Fifth: A wedding reception usually follows the ceremony. This can be anything from coffee, cookies, and a wedding cake, to a sit down dinner with champagne if there is wine. (Do not ask me why there must be champagne.) (Some protestant churches do not allow their members to drink alcohol.)

Do guests stand throughout the wedding ceremony?

No the guests stand when the bride enters and walks down the aisle then they sit once she reaches the alter. The guests sit down through the ceremony and stand once the couple are presented as Man and Wife and remain standing until the entire wedding party has exited the room. Unless this is a ceremony where nealing is a customary part of the ceremony.

What do you wear to a 7 PM wedding?

Generally wedding after 7 pm imply formal/cocktail attire. The little black dress would be appropriate and a nice suit to a tux for the men. Take your cues from the formality of the invitation and the location of the reception. If the invite is formal and the location is high end, dress formal. I always follow the rule that I would rather be overdressed and look great than underdressed.

Is it proper to give a wedding gift to a coworker if you are not invited?

If you are a good friend and can't make the wedding you should give a little something. But if you weren't invited, this basically gives you no obligation to give. You could have a office gift pool, everyone throws in five bucks or something. Also, check out www.theweddingenvelope.com/calculator.php it is a wedding gift calculator, might help in future.

What is the meaning of toasting of wine in wedding?
