Wedding Etiquette
Speeches
There are generally three people who are expected to make a speech at the wedding reception and in order of speaking they are, the bride's father, the groom and lastly the best man. No one else is required to speak although other speakers are permitted. It is not unusual for the groom's father to give a short speech of thanks to the host and hostess of the occasion. The bride or often a "best woman" may also choose to may a speech.

Payment for the Wedding
General tradition has the bride's family paying for their daughters wedding as they were gaining a son from the union.
However with the average cost of a wedding today being over £15,000 it is rarely possible for the bride's family to foot the entire bill.
Tradition offers guidelines as to which party pays for which service, although the affluence of each family pays a part in how the costs are divided in modern times.
