Answers:

Sorry guys, this was a trick question right off the bat! The correct answer is none of the above. The groom and the groomsmen do not walk down the aisle during the processional at all. They make their way to the altar from the side, and wait there during the processional.


a. The groom traditionally was responsible for the bride's wedding jewelry (including her engagement ring, wedding band, and a gift of jewelry to be worn at the wedding), the bride's bouquet (but not the rest of the flowers), and the honeymoon trip. These days, though, almost anything goes in terms of who pays for a wedding. As the average age for couples increases, the notion that the bride's father should foot the entire bill has begun to become less common.


True. It is customary to show your appreciation for your attendants with nice groomsmen gifts. Classic choices include silver pocketknives, engraved flasks, and silver cufflinks.


White tie is the most formal, and is rarely seen these days.


Traditionally, a white tie event was reserved for the winter months, and would begin at 7pm or later. Black tie is appropriate in any season for weddings starting at 6pm or later.


c. The average cost of an American wedding is around $28,000, and can run considerably more in certain cities.


c. Something blue. But if you chose b. "forever true", you were on the right track. The color blue is a part of weddings because it symbolizes fidelity.

So how did you do? Are you a wedding planning MVP yet, or still waiting to be called up from the minor leagues? Whichever the case, if you do your best to help the bride and keep her feeling happy and relaxed, you are sure to have a terrific wedding.
