The groom should buy the bride something that comes from the heart. The perfect gift is a personalized glass card; a love letter if you will - in his own words, telling his bride what it is that he loves about her and why he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. This is a gift that a bride will cherish for a lifetime. Personalize a beautiful glass card from elite glass cards, which will last longer than flowers, cards, jewelry
In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female.The gender specific noun for a female is bride.The corresponding gender specific noun for a male is groom or bridegroom.
The wedding ceremony was usually held at the father of the bride's house. There had to be typically at least ten witnesses to the ceremony to make it legal. The bride and groom stood before a priest and held hands. The bride had agreed to the wedding by appearing in public holding hands with her future husband. She also had to consent to the marriage during the ceremony by saying words of consent in public. These words were a chant, and were the same words for all brides and grooms. The bride would say: "Quando tu Gaius, ego Gaia." (When you are Gaius, I then am Gaia.) After the words of consent, the bride and groom sat on stools, facing the altar. An offering was made to the god Jupiter, which was usually a cake. Once the priest had made the offering, this cake was eaten by the bride and groom. However this was the very elaborate marriage ceremony called "confarreatio" .There were also less elaborate marriage ceremonies such as the "coemptio" the "sine manu" and the "usus", each with their own terms and customs.
Flowers and cards are a nice gift, but for a gift that lasts a lifetime and one that is truly cherished by the bride, is an "Elite Glass Card". The groom can personalize the card anyway he wants; write his own love letter to the bride. Unlike some card that he will buy off the shelf, he gets to write words that have meaning to the both of them. Plus the card is beautifully engraved on glass - spectacular! This is the idea that comes from the heart and one that will be remembered by the bride forever!
No. This jumbled heap of words has no grammar, and its meaning is impossible to decipher. How many mothers does the groom have? Does she (or they) enter holly? Is flora a person? How about jene - is that someone's name? Does the mother of the bride enter Dee at the very end? Use complete, punctuated sentences. For example: The mother of the groom enters first, followed by Holly, Flora and Jene. Then the mother of the bride enters, and finally Dee.
You are honoring the special guest; bride and groom, etc., by raising your glass and giving a special toast.
Traditionally, it's during the reception, usually as the first toast of the event. The first toast is usually delivered by the father of the bride followed by the groom then completed by the best man. However it is becoming more commonplace for the bride, the bridesmaid and sometimes the mother of the bride to say a few words also.
The groom isn't required to give his Bride a gift, but in recent years, the tradition of gift giving between the bride and groom has become more and more popular. In many circles, it is common for the bride and groom to exchange wedding gifts amongst each other. I often get asked by grooms, "what would be a good gift to give my Bride-to-Be"? Well, while jewelry and romantic getaways are nice, I think gifts that demonstrate a love and understanding of the recipient are more popular. A love letter, romantic poem, or card with loving wedding wishes is the one gift that is among the most treasured of all. Love can be expressed in a myriad of different methods, but the most timeless and most treasured will always remain the classic "love letter" or "love card".

An engagement period before the wedding was customary, but it was not a legal requirement. There could be an engagement ceremony in which the man handed his future wife an iron ring, which she the third finger of the left hand because the Romans believed that a nerve ran from this finger directly to the heart. Poor people who could not afford a ceremony or a ring skipped this step. Consent to the marriage had to be show three times. Before the wedding ceremony the future bride and groom appeared in public holding hands. Consent was shown again during the wedding ceremony. Standard words of consent were chanted by the bride and groom. The bride said: "Quando tu Gaius, ego Gaia." (When you are Gaius, I then am Gaia). This formula was repeated before the bride entered her husband's house. The wedding day was chosen carefully because religion prescribed that certain days should be avoided. The wedding ceremony was usually held at the house of the father of the bride and at her family's expense. There had to be at least ten witnesses to the ceremony to make it legal. There were various types of ceremonies. In the most elaborate ceremony (confarreatio) was reserved for marriages between patricians (aristocrats). After the words of consent, the bride and groom sat on stools, facing the altar. An offering of a cake made of spelt was made to the god Jupiter. Once the priest had made the offering, this cake was eaten by the bride and groom. There were also less elaborate marriage ceremonies such as the "coemptio" the "sine manu" and the "usus", each with their own customs. After the wedding ceremony, there was a dinner, usually at the bride's house, but sometimes at the house of the groom. At the end of the dinner slices of the wedding cake were didtributed. After the ceremony the bride went with a procession to her new home. This was essential to the validity of the marriage. Anyone could join the procession, and many people did. Torch bearers and flute players turend up at the house of the father of the bride. The mother held her daughter, and the groom took his bride with a pretend show of force from her mother's arms. When the procession started groom went ahead of the bride to receive the bride at his home. The bride brought a torch lit from her family's hearth, and was offered another torch and water, symbolising aquae et ignis communicatio (water and fire communion). On the way, nuts were thrown. In front of the open door, the consent chant was repeated. The bride was carried over the threshold by her attendants, not the husband. The door was closed on the crowd. Invited guests were let in. The bride lit the fireplace with her torch, which was then put out and thrown among the guests who scrambled for it. The next day, the groom held a dinner party at his house, and the bride made an offering to the gods of her new home.
