Read the information and do the tasks below.
Before the Wedding
Marriage is usually initiated by a proposal of marriage, simply called "a proposal". The man traditionally proposes to the woman presenting a ring (an engagement ring) asking the question such as "Will you marry me?" The man may even go down on one knee before proposing. If the proposal is accepted, the couple become engaged.
In the United Kingdom, the engagement ring is worn, by the woman, on the third finger of the left hand (the ring finger). A man who is engaged to be married is called - fiancé; a woman similarly engaged is called - fiancée.
THE WEDDING CEREMONY
A bride's wedding day is often thought as "the happiest day of her life", but in all honesty it's often a very stressful experience.
The groom and his best man wait inside the church for the arrival of the bride and her "entourage".
This entourage generally arrives in elegant cars or in horse-drawn coaches, specially hired for the occasion. The bride's entourage normally consists of the bride, the bride's father who normally takes her to church and “gives her away” to the groom, and all the various bridesmaids, maids of honour, sometimes flower girls and page boys attend her. The page boy's task is often to carry the wedding rings on a cushion.

During the religious marriage ceremony the bride and groom make their marriage vows. Marriage vows are promises a couple makes to each other during a wedding ceremony.
Most wedding vows are taken from traditional religious ceremonies, but nowadays in the UK many couples choose touching love poems or lyrics from a love song revised as wedding vows.
After the vows have been spoken the couple exchange rings. The wedding ring is placed on the third finger of the left hand.
The wedding ring is usually a plain gold ring.

The bride stands with her back to all the guests and throws her bouquet over her head to them. Whoever catches the bouquet is the next person to get married.
After the ceremony there is usually a reception at which the married couple, the couple's parents, the best man and the wedding entourage greet each of the guests. At such events it is traditional to eat and drink - a lot.
During the reception a number of speeches and/or toasts are given in honour of the couple.
Any dancing is commonly started by the bride and groom, usually termed the "Bridal Waltz", but dancing an actual waltz is comparatively rare - often the couple chooses their favourite piece of music or a song.
An arranged dance between the bride and her father is also traditional.
At the wedding reception a wedding cake is often served. Traditionally this is a fruit cake. Often there are a couple of little figures on top of the cake, normally they are a representation of the bride and groom in formal wedding attire.
It is considered lucky for the couple to cut the cake together. It symbolises them working together during their marriage.
Photographs or videos of all stages of the ceremony are taken, including several in front of the church after the ceremony.
