Weddings
Over half the weddings in the UK take place in local register offices and the rest are
religious ceremonies of one kind or another. A few years ago changes in the law allowed
couples to get married in all sorts of places (known as a civil Wedding Ceremony),
including in hot air balloons, castles and race courses.
Most weddings take place on Saturday afternoons, this is very much the peak period in
any week for getting married.

3. Who pays for weddings in your country? Do you think the UK tradition is fair?
Before the Wedding takes place
The week before the wedding the bride has a 'Hen' night and the bridegroom has a 'Stag'party (similar to bachelor/bachelorette parties). This usually consists of a drunken night
out with friends of the same sex, but recently the Stag party industry has expanded, and
many men choose to spend the whole weekend in a cheap European city. It is traditional
to play a practical joke on the groom during a night out.
4. How do men and women in your country celebrate before the wedding? Do you
have any similar traditions? What do you think of Hen and Stag parties?
Wedding Superstitions
The groom must not see the bride on the day of the wedding until they meet at the
altar.
For good luck the bride should wear something borrowed, something blue,
something old and something new.
The husband should carry his new wife over the threshold of their home.
5. Do you have any wedding superstitions in your country?
