The big day
A wedding is one of the biggest family celebrations. A traditional wedding in the UK is a formal
event and there are lots of rules that go with it.
First, there is the dress code. Traditionally, men must wear suits and ties. They neednt wear hats,
although at a very formal wedding the groom and his best man often wear top hats. Women wear
dresses or suits and they must wear hats. You mustnt wear white (only the bride wears white) or
black (because it is too serious).
There are other traditions too. The brides father makes a speech at the wedding. The brides mother
and the grooms parents neednt make a speech, but the grooms best friend (the best man) makes a
speech too.
Traditionally, the brides family pay for the wedding, but many modern couples now plan and pay for
their special day themselves. The average wedding costs nearly 20,000, so many parents are happy
about this change!
Weddings are an old tradition and there are a lot of superstitions about the wedding day and the
ceremony. Here are a few of them:
If you are a bridesmaid three times for your friends, you will never get married yourself.
If you catch the brides bouquet of flowers when she throws it, you will be the next one to get
married.
The groom mustnt see the brides dress until the wedding ceremony. If he does, the couple
will have bad luck.

1 You must make sure you wear the right clothes at a formal wedding. _____
2 Men mustnt wear hats. _____
3 Women don't usually make speeches at a traditional wedding. _____
4 Not all modern parents pay for their daughters wedding. _____
5 It is traditional for the groom to help the bride choose her dress. _____
