Some are based on old superstitions about ways to bring the couple good luck and many children. Others symbolize the marital promise of lifelong devotion. In American: - Traditional bride: a long white gown and a veil. (In earlier times, people thought the veil would protect the bride from evil spirits. The white gown and veil also symbolize innocence) - Groom: a tuxedo (a formal suit with a bow tie) - groom should not see the bride's gown before the wedding. - Also, on their wedding day, the bride and groom are not supposed to see each other until the ceremony. - The wedding ceremony may be held in a church, synagogue, home, hotel, or nice outdoor area. - Traditional music played during the procession are the wedding march but today many couples select other music. - The bridal party (the people participating in the ceremony) includes the bride and groom and their closest relatives and friends. - There are usually bridesmaids and a maid of honor and the groom's ushers and "best man" (usually his brother or best friend). Walking in front of the bride is a young "flower girl”, who throws flower petals from a straw basket. The bride walks down the aisle with her father or both parents, who "give her away" to the groom. The bride and groom then face the cleric or judge conducting the service, and a traditional service is recited. The content of the service depends on the couple's religion. - During a typical ceremony, the bride and groom exchange identical wedding rings - The ring, a circle with no beginning and no end, symbolizes unending love and loyalty. It is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because of a very old (and incorrect) idea that a vein or nerve runs from this finger directly to the heart. (ảnh) - At the end of the wedding ceremony, the groom and bride are pronounced husband and wife and are invited to kiss each other. - After a church wedding, guests may throw rose petals, confetti (small pieces of colored paper), or rice at the newlyweds as they leave the church. Rice, a common fertility symbol, is supposed to help the couple have children. Sometimes, the couple's car is decorated with tin cans, paper streamers, or old shoes, along with a "Just Married" sign. The tin cans and shoes reflect an old idea that noisemakers scare away evil spirits and bring good luck. (ảnh car) - After the ceremony, there is a reception—a party with food, drinks, and dancing. ảnh - After the meal, the bride and groom cut the cake and it is served to the guests. Some guests take home a slice of cake in a little box Some people believe that if a single woman sleeps with this piece of cake under her pillow she will dream of the man she is going to marry. ảnh - Just before the bride leaves the reception, she throws a bouquet of flowers backward over her head to a group of single women standing behind her. Supposedly, the one who catches the bouquet will be the next to marry. At some weddings, the groom throws his bride's garter to the single men. Catching the garter also means an approaching marriage. (ảnh) - There are, of course, endless variations on American weddings. Some weddings combine American customs with those of the couple’s native countries. Other couples discard tradition and “do their own thing.” Some couples want their wedding to reflect their interests or display their talents. ảnh cho từng wedding - Who pays for the wedding? In the past, the bride's parents were expected to pay for almost everything. But today the average American wedding costs about $19,000, and some large, lavish ones run as high as $80,000. Therefore, expenses are often shared by the parents on both sides. Of course, some couples (especially older ones) pay for their weddings themselves. To avoid the expense and trouble of planning a large wedding, some couples elope. - To be legally wed, a couple need only fulfill the requirements set by the state in which the ceremony is performed. State laws determine who may get a marriage license. In most states, teenagers 18 or older can marry without parental consent, but 16- and 17 year-olds must have parental permission. In most states, those under age 16 are not allowed to marry. Marriages between first cousins or people more closely related are forbidden in many states. Most states require medical examinations and certificates before issuing a marriage license, and some refuse licenses to people with certain physical or mental illnesses.

This word means “month of honey” in French. It refers to a former custom- for newlyweds to share a drink made with honey every day during the first month of their mariage.
