As the couple pass out of the front door
it is customary for the guests to throw after
them, for luck, rice, rose leaves, flowers, old
shoes, etc.
The form to be used in signing the hotel
register is: Mr. and Mrs. John K. Wilson.
Good taste and a desire for personal comfort
demand that their public acts and words
be not of such a character as to attract attention.
See also Wedding Trip.
AT HOME. At the end of the wedding trip they
proceed to their own home, and immediately
send out their At Home cards, unless they
have followed the better plan of enclosing
them with their wedding cards.
They are at perfect liberty to send them to
whom they please, and thus to select their
friends. At these "At Homes" light refreshment
is served, and the married couple wear full
evening dress.
They are generally given a dinner by the
bridesmaids, and are entertained by both
families in appropriate ways.
MEN-DRESS. At a morning or afternoon wedding
the groom, best man, and ushers wear
afternoon dress, but at an evening wedding
they wear evening dress.
For further details see Best Man--Dress.
Groom--Dress. Ushers--Dress.
MOURNING should not be worn at a wedding, but
should be laid aside temporarily, the wearer
appearing in purple.
MUSIC. The organist and the music are usually
selected by the bride. Before the arrival of
the bride the organist plays some bright
selection, but on her entering the church
and passing up the aisle he plays the Wedding March.
PAGES. See Pages.
PRIVATE. See Private Wedding.
PROCESSION UP THE AISLE. Many styles are
adopted for the procession up the aisle. A
good order is for the ushers to come first in
pairs, then the bridesmaids, maid of honor,
and last the bride on her father's arm. At
the altar the ushers and bridesmaids open
ranks to allow the bride to pass through.
This order is usually reversed in the procession
down the aisle.
RECALLING INVITATIONS. See Wedding Invitations
(Recalled).
RECEPTIONS. See Wedding Receptions.
REHEARSALS. Rehearsals should be held even
for a quiet home wedding, and at a sufficiently
early date to insure the presence of all who
are to participate.
REPORTERS. See Reporters--Weddings.
RIBBONS. See Ribbons at Church Weddings.
RICE. See Weddings--Throwing of Rice.
RING. This may be dispensed with, save in the
Roman Catholic and in the Episcopal Church
service. It is usually of plain gold, with
initials of bride and groom and date of marriage
engraved therein.
