Who toasts the bride and groom?
At the rehearsal dinner, the host should get the party started with a welcome toast before the 1st course is served.
The rest of the toasts should occur after dessert to avoid interfering with the waitstaff. If it is a buffet and more casual,
the host may do a welcome toast after guests have served themselves and follow with a toast to the bride and the groom.
After the host, the father of the bride can stand, followed by attendants and any other guests who may wish to speak.
At the wedding, toasts are typically offered after the cutting of the cake. If you are doing a champagne toast,
be sure all the guests have been served a flute.
A common wedding trend is to forget the champagne toast" since many just take a sip and it's not cost-effective.
It is perfectly fine for guests to toast with whatever they are drinking at the time of toasting.
Since toasting is a highlight of the wedding reception, below are samples of toasts to help the best man and others on the wedding day.
Remember your toast should last no longer than two minutes since the more you talk, the less people remember.
If you forget what to say, remember this easy formula: Start with a little story that conveys the essence of the bride and groom,
say how it relates to the happy occasion and how your life has benefited from knowing them and end by wishing them well

What happens before a Jewish wedding?
During the week before the wedding, the Choson and Kallah do not see each other.
On the Sabbath of that week the Choson is called to the Torah (ufruf), to impress upon the couple the duty to look to the Torah as their guide in married life.
The bride and groom maintain the world by raising children who will busy themselves in Torah study; therefore, the groom is called upon to read the letters of the Torah, which contain the ten utterances of creation.
After his Aliyah, the congregation showers him with raisins and nuts, symbolic of their wishes for a sweet and fruitful marriage blessed with many children.
Meanwhile, on the same Sabbath, the Kallah's family and friends arrange a party (forshpiel) for her, expressing their same wishes for her.
From a few days prior, until a week after the wedding, the couple are considered royalty and are, therefore, not to be seen in public without a personal escort.
Do you give both wedding band and engagement ring at proposal?
Traditionally, when someone proposes marriage, they typically present an engagement ring rather than both an engagement ring and a wedding band. The engagement ring is given at the time of the proposal, symbolizing the commitment to marriage. It is worn on the ring finger of the left hand.
The wedding band is exchanged during the wedding ceremony itself. Both partners typically exchange wedding bands as a symbol of their commitment to each other. The wedding band is often a simpler and more understated ring compared to the engagement ring.
However, customs and preferences can vary, and some individuals choose to give both the engagement ring and wedding band at the time of the proposal. Others may opt for a bridal set, which includes both rings designed to complement each other. Ultimately, the choice depends on personal preferences and cultural or regional traditions.
In a traditional wedding where the Bride's parents, pay for the wedding, certainly. Cash or checque in the amount that you can afford, along with a small extra gift of a personal nature for the new couple's home together. DON'T over-extend yourself, as your bridal couple and parents should have some awareness of each other's financial condition.

No, but you should exchange rings. It is tradition and so is important to the woman, regardless of what she says. You can buy a nice ring for not much money.

How do people decide if they want to get married?
Here is what I would suggest, having been through a failed marriage myself. First off, don't rush it. Date for at least three years - if you don't want to wait that long, you might be getting married for the wrong reason - i.e. your getting married to be able to say "i'm married" instead of because you want to be with the other person FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
You should get married if you could put up with a terrible wedding. (registry office for the big wedding dreamers and visa versa). Marriage is just that - an ongoing activity, not a one day event!
There's no way to know until you've already done it.
So, maybe the way to know is if you can feel good about signing up with your partner for a hopefully long and unpredictable life.
Marriage is not simple you have to make sure that you love the person that you want to become a wife or a husband. Its not just a hot rice that you can easily spit it out when its too hot. Its a life time.
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.
