The big day
Most wedding customs observed in the U.S. today began in other countries and
past centuries. 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.

- 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.

- 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. (khúc này mn thấy làm sao hợp lí thì giúp tui nhen, còn k

- After the wedding, the newlyweds usually take a vacation called a
honeymoon. 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.
