Wedding in USA
1. The marriage proposal
in the country of "bigger is better", it is in the interest of Mr. The ring is very important, and an impressive number of people will shake the left ring finger until it comes off (unfortunately, you have to see it to believe it).
The demand itself is also very codified, with knee to the ground and statement burning. And Prince Charming has the pressure, because everyone will ask the couple how the request was made, even complete strangers - think grandparents' primary school buddies.
2. The town hall / place of worship
I've already talked a bit about it here, but in the United States, there's no need for a town hall and / or place of worship. It's one or the other. My Prince Charming being an atheist, I thought we were getting married at the town hall. Not at all ! Already, we get married in court (I let you imagine the splendor of the place).
And then, it's 5 guests maximum. If you want to have both parents, you have the right to a grandparent or friend and basta. So, if you do not want to get married religiously, you have to go to a lay ceremonial officiant.
3. The room
The room differs little, but there are many more choices in the type of places. Remember, bride-to-be, that the US is a capitalist country. you will tell me, but there is multiplied by 2. As they have no state subsidies, to make a little money, museums do weddings, science cities too, as well as the parks. We are going to a wedding in a historic house on Saturday.
It's a party for the bride. Most often exclusively feminine, this holiday is an opportunity to receive many gifts from your wedding list. And to make you pamper.
The rehearsal dinner. Yes, because in the US, we repeat our marriage, the day before in general. We invite all the people who will be part of loved ones, and we act as if, to be sure that everyone has understood his role.
On the night of the rehearsal, we have a dinner with friends and family. This is the opportunity to meet before the big day. Again, my knowledge of the subject is limited, but I'll tell you more later.
But it must also carry, according to an old adage, something new, something old, something blue and something borrowed. I will have my dress (new), the wallet that my grandmother had at her wedding (old), my engagement ring (sapphire = blue) and the pearls of my mother (borrowed).
The groom has a much more flexible outfit, even if the norm remains in the tuxedo. Today, there are brides of all kinds, even in shorts!
These dear toddlers represent the procession. The flower girl throws flower petals in front of the bride, and the ring bearer brings the wedding rings.
The newlyweds open the ball with their dance just to them. Then we dine. Then, the grooms re-open the ball with a dance of the parents. The bride dances with her dad and the groom dances with his mom. I must confess, bridle-to-be, that I do not see too much the interest of having two openings of ball interspersed with a dinner. After, the course of the evening itself is rather similar except that there are no games.

1. The wedding shower

3. The outfit
The bride is wearing white. [No, really?] And it's the only one who is entitled to this color. Ms. Tango said it did not matter if someone else was wearing white at the wedding? Not here, it's frowned upon.
But it must also carry, according to an old adage, something new, something old, something blue and something borrowed. I will have my dress (new), the wallet that my grandmother had at her wedding (old), my engagement ring (sapphire = blue) and the pearls of my mother (borrowed).

4. The wedding party
Kesako? This is the name you use to designate your army of bridesmaids and gentlemen of honor. The average is usually three bridesmaids, three groomsmen and a maid of honor (or temoune) and a best man (witness). All these ladies and gentlemen are dressed the same (or at least the same color) and stand behind the bride and groom.
5. Flower girl and ring bearer
6. The evening
7. The wedding cake
No room mounted here (and yet I tried to find, I love cream puffs), but a wedding cake. This is a layered cake, often with a scented butter cream in the middle. The cake is covered with sugar paste, which allows folly of decorations (psssst, will see the wedding cake of Ms. Feliner, too cabbage).
Tradition also requires that the bride and groom cut the cake to feed one another. Some take the opportunity to put cream on the face. But we're going to bet Prince Charming is a gentleman, and he would never do that (at least I'm crossing my fingers).
8. The release of the newlyweds
At the end of the evening, the couple get lost in their car, which was decorated during the evening by the maid of honor and the best man. It can range from simple balloons and inscriptions on the windows to the string of tin cans hanging from the muffler.
9. The honeymoon
