The Big Day

The groom and best man arrive at the church first, and then the guests arrive. Last to arrive is the bride , normally dressed in a long white wedding dress , her face covered in a veil, carrying a bouquet of flowers, and accompanied by a couple of bridesmaids in matching dresses. Usually the bride's father walks her down the aisle until they reach the priest at the altar. The church organ plays the Wedding March , and the guests rise to their feet to watch the procession. Once they reach the altar, the bride stands with the groom, and the service begins. The priest always asks if there are any objections to the marriage (someone can speak or forever hold their peace — never have the opportunity again to object), then the couple exchanges rings . At that point, the groom is allowed to kiss his wife . Next is the reception, which is often a formal lunch in a hotel. After lunch the bride's father normally gives a speech, and the bridegroom and or the bride give a short speech to thank their guests. At the end of the day, the happy couple traditionally leaves on honeymoon .
