Read about Weddings in Great Britain.
a) Put the wedding events in order
1. It may be held at the bride’s home or a hotel.
There will be drinks, a meal, and in due course,
speeches by the bride’s father, the best man and
the bridegroom. There is also a wedding cake, a
fruit cake with white icing often made in two or
three levels. The bride is usually photographed cutting the cake.

2. After the reception, the couple usually leaves
for a short holiday, called the “honeymoon”.
The car in which they drive away often has
old tin cans or old boots or shoes tied to it and
trailing behind it. (This is a sign that they are
newly married and is regarded as a good luck
symbol.)

3 The next step is to decide the date and the
type of the wedding. The date will probably
be fixed several months ahead. Weddings
usually take place on a Saturday and traditionally
in spring, and especially around
Easter, which is a po pular time of year.

4. Many couples prefer a religious wedding, even
when they are not regular churchgoers, because
they want a “white wedding”, a ceremony in
church, with the bride dressed in white, often
with a veil and carrying flowers.

5 The bride is normally taken to church by her
father, who “gives her away”, while the bridegroom
is accompanied by a “best man”. The
bride often has attendants, called bridesmaids,
and sometimes small boys act as pages.

6 Many couples celebrate the anniversary of
their wedding day each year, and parties are
often held to celebrate a silver wedding after
25 years and a golden wedding after 50 years.

7 Engagements to marry are often officially
announced in newspapers, and may be celebrated
with a party. Boyfriend and girlfriend
become “fiancé” and “fiancée”.

8 After the marriage service, to which family
and friends have been invited, there is a reception,
called a wedding breakfast; traditionally,
the bride’s parents are the hosts.

9. Photographs or videos of all stages of the ceremony are taken, including several in front of the
church after the ceremony
