Romeo- Oh Romeo- Where thou Is My Romeo
Oops, wrong story but you have now found your Romeo and you're now planning your wedding. Typically there are general wedding traditions the bride and groom follows, from the bridal shower, bachelorette and the bachelor party, the wedding ceremony through the wedding reception.
Most brides choose the maid of honor which most likely is her best friend who has stood by her side through the good times and the bad times. Someone the bride knows and trusts! The maid of honor will help her through the planning process of the wedding and even assist in, or organizing the events such as the bride's bridal shower. The bride will also choose 3-5 bridesmaids whom will not only stand beside her at her wedding, but, will also help her with the planning or her wedding. Did you know the bridesmaids have been a wedding tradition for centuries? A different meaning back then from today! What used to be said, that the bridal party were there to confuse any evil spirits by dressing the same as the bride. Today of course, the bridal party is there to support the bride.
The groom will do the same as the bride in choosing a best man to stand beside him at the wedding ceremony. Typically he's the best friend whom have shared many adventures together and held each other up through the good and bad times as well. He would be the one to organize a bachelor party for the groom which is considered his last night out as a single man. Did you know that in the ancient years, the best man was not only the grooms best and trusted friend but he was there to defend the bride's family off? The reason...... the groom would seek out his future bride, then, he would capture her to make her his wife. Hmmmmm, I don't think that would work very well in today's society. Although, I believe there still are Shot Gun Weddings! But that's an entirely different wedding story. Along with the best man, there are 3-5 groomsmen whom stand beside the groom through the duration of the wedding planning.
