The big day

A wedding is one of the biggest family celebrations. A traditional wedding in the UK

is a formal event and there are lots of rules that go with it.
First, there is the dress code. Traditionally, men must wear suits and ties. They
needn’t wear hats, although at a very formal wedding the groom and his best man
often wear top hats. Women wear dresses or suits and they must wear hats. You
mustn’t wear white (only the bride wears white) or black (because it is too serious).
There are other traditions too. The bride’s father makes a speech at the wedding.
The bride’s mother and the groom’s parents needn’t make a speech, but the
groom’s best friend (the best man) makes a speech too.
Traditionally, the bride’s family pay for the wedding, but many modern couples now
plan and pay for their special day themselves. The average wedding costs nearly
£20,000, so many parents are happy about this change!
Weddings are an old tradition and there are a lot of superstitions about the wedding
day and the ceremony. Here are a few of them:

• If you are a bridesmaid three times for your friends, you will never get married
yourself.

• If you catch the bride’s bouquet of flowers when she throws it, you will be the next
one to get married.

• The groom mustn’t see the bride’s dress until the wedding ceremony. If he does,
the couple will have bad luck.

1. You must make sure you wear the right clothes at a formal wedding.

2. Men mustn’t wear hats.

3. Women don't usually make speeches at a traditional wedding.

4. Not all modern parents pay for their daughter’s wedding.

5. It is traditional for the groom to help the bride choose her dress.
