* 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.

• Generally a single man that wears a wedding band (usually on the right hand) does so because it may have been his fathers or his mothers wedding band.) There may be the odd single man that is shy and it a way that he can excuse himself if caught in an awkward position if a woman comes onto him. Some men may be gay and although in some States gay marriages are not acceptable the couple feel they are married so they wear wedding bands.

* A bride and groom to be will register at their favorite stores and choose the gifts they would like to receive. When a guest decides to buy a gift for the couple they will either ask the clerk or use the computer in bigger department stores to get a list of the items (various price ranges) as to the gifts still left to buy for the couple. You choose one of the gifts that best suits your budget and the clerk will be sure that the gift will be checked off and the couple will not receive the same gift twice.

• Traditionally no, the mother of the bride does not give a speech at the wedding or at the wedding reception.

A monogram is inappropriate on an invitation.

A monogram uses both couple's first initial, and the family last name after they are married. (When a woman keeps her name, monograms aren't used.) It is inappropriate to use the monogram on anything before the wedding. If you want to use it on thank you notes to be sent out after the wedding, it would be each first initial and the married last initial.

Traditionally, an engagement ring is given when you propose. Usually (but depends on taste/preferences) it is a solitaire (one diamond or gemstone) or a shouldered solitaire (one diamond/gemstone with littler diamonds/gemstones on either side). The idea appears to be to present something big or stunning.

Wedding ring/band are exchanged between wife and husband during a wedding ceremony. Traditionally, it is worn under the engagement ring. Traditionally speaking, it is a plain band or both husband and wife's bands match. These days, it is common to not have matching bands. This is because of the choice of engagement ring resulting in an unusual shape wedding band to fit perfectly against the engagement ring. It is very common to have the traditional eternity ring style as a wedding band for women.

Eternity bands were marketed to be given at a ten year anniversary. They have diamonds (or other gemstone) all the way around. Some people find this impractical so half-eternity rings came about. They only have jewels placed on one side to be seen when wearing, as opposed to around the entire band. It is common to receive one on an anniversary, birth of a child, overcoming illness, redoing vows etc. They are worn on top of the engagement ring or replace engagement and wedding ring. It is not that common to have eternity rings these days. And there style is a popular choice as a wedding band.

It is common practice to wear the above rings on your left hand, on the finger next to your little finger. This is because it has a direct pathway to your heart.

No, not at the age of 14, there is no state that will permit marriage. Every state in the U.S. requires a person to be 18 in order to get married without parental consent, with the exception of Mississippi (21) and Nebraska (19). Mississippi requires a person to be 21 in order to get married without parental consent. Nebraska requires a person to be 19 in order to get married without parental consent.

The person to get married "with" parental consent is: girls 16, boys 16.

• The myth is that white symbolizes the bride is virginal. Actually the white wedding dress is a fashion statement created by Queen Victoria and it is not necessary to get married in white if one chooses not too. Some brides may choose an extremely soft peach color; Ecru; ivory, etc. Women who have been married before often prefer any color, but white. Previously marriage or first time married a woman can choose to get married in white or not.
• The white wedding dress predates Christianity, in Ancient Rome white symbolized fertility rather than virginity.Different cultures prefer other colours, red was favoured in China and purple or gold in India.

Bride.

Generally, the bride is a feminine while the groom is a masculine.

In same-gender marriages, it's common to have two grooms or two brides, though some couples agree as to which one has more gender-specific traits, and which has more gender-opposing traits (thus, "groom and bride" are still accurate in such marriages where this is the case, regardless of biological gender).

But if you're asking whether or not it's right to have two grooms... that's a question we really can't answer for you.

There is no formal tradition as it pertains to engagement rings on your wedding day. I have officiated hundreds of weddings, and most brides wear their engagement rings and then have their wedding band slipped on during the ceremony. If, for some reason, the bride does not want to wear her engagement ring due to swelling, glove wearing or simplicity.. she can wear it on her right hand or keep it home. There is an old tale that says that wearing the wedding band first is best because it's "closest to your heart". But you really should wear them the way they look best and feel most comfortable. The symbolism is not changed by the order in which you were them.. the fact that you have an engagement ring and wedding band on your left ring finger is indicative to anyone that you are in a committed, married relationship.

Do what's in your heart and what makes sense for you..and enjoy your wedding!!

Traditionally, wedding ring was to never be removed showing as an eternal symbol of your love and commitment. Because of this, most women slide their wedding band on first at the wedding and later place the engagement ring on top of that. Today most say the wedding band is worn closest to the heart. Many bridal sets and matched rings are soldered together, however, making this a moot point and entirely up to personal preference.

From what I was told Ur supposed to wear your wedding band closest to Ur heart and then Ur engagement ring but u don't have to wear the engagement ring after marriage unless u prefer to. I only wear it when I go some where.

A woman would wear a ring on her middle finger because she likes how it looks.
