No one does it better than Miss Manners. Music starts. Groom and best man come in sideways. Up the aisle come (in order) ushers, bridesmaids, ring bearer, and bride. Optional: bride is escorted by father. (In some Jewish weddings both bride and groom are accompanied by both parents.) Music stops.





The officiant gently guides you through any readings, sermons, exchanges of rings, etc. Pay attention and repeat when told to, fill in the blanks, and say ';I will'; at the proper time. This is important: pay attention to the officiant instead of getting stars in your eyes or you will never live it down.





The kiss should be chaste and ceremonial but not so quick that it's a puny peck. Music begins. The recessional is bride %26amp; groom followed by attendants, who may walk singly, in pairs (same sex or mix sex), three by three, or whatever. If desired, supply people with confetti, bubbles, etc to shower the couple as they climb into a vehicle of some sort and head for the party. The families of the couple and the wedding party also rush off for the reception location. Everyone else rushes for the rest room. Music optional.





Receive. The couple, families and wedding party arrive at the reception location, rush for the rest room, then rush to their predetermined (fight it out ahead of time) places in the receiving line, parents first, then the couple, then the bridesmaids and best man. (The ushers get off easy.) As each guest arrives, he or she passes along the line and brief introductions are made. These people must work together as a smooth unit, spending 10-12 seconds max with each guest and then kindly but firmly steering them along the ling. Do the math.





Eat. The time for speeches is after everyone is seated but the meal hasn't yet been served. If everyone is munching on bread, someone give the best man a kick to make his speech and get things moving. Toasts are made left and right throughout the dinner, and the bride who does not stand up and return those toasts will never get any champagne. Bride and groom cut the cake, act silly if they wish, and dessert is served.





Music and dancing. Bride and groom first, then start bringing more and more people onto the dance floor until the dancing is general. Once everyone is feeling merry, it is time for odd rituals like bouquet tossing. The couple leaves. If desired, supply people with confetti, bubbles, etc to shower the couple as they climb into a vehicle of some sort and head for the honeymoon.





Have fun. Congrats and best wishes.
