How to behave at a wedding?

The question of behavior at a wedding is quite relevant, and, going to a celebration, not everyone knows how to behave properly. This applies equally to newlyweds and guests of the holiday.

Wedding is the first important event in the life of a young family. The overall emotional climate of the event depends on their mood and behavior at the marriage ceremony and its ceremonial part. If young people are sullen or irritated, then the guests on such a holiday will not be very comfortable. And on the contrary - smiles to those present, kisses and a gentle attitude towards each other will set the audience in the right mood.

The official part of the wedding ceremony is preceded, as a rule, the bride price. This is a rather crucial moment, which, in fact, is the beginning of a wedding celebration and often sets the tone for the overall event. The main participant in the ransom is the groom. The role of the bride at this stage is minimal and consists in waiting for the betrothed in the apartment, surrounded by one or two close relatives. The groom, on the contrary, acts as the main character, so his behavior at this moment is very important.

The young man should treat with understanding the proposed tests and, if possible, perform all the actions that the bridesmaids require of him. You should not show your indignation or abandon tasks - this can cause ambiguous reaction of others and devalue the main point of redemption. In especially difficult situations, friends and a witness should come to the aid of the groom. Unlike the groom, they are not worried, they are completely relaxed and are able to translate into a joke tricky questions and difficult trials. However, too frivolous behavior of the groom is also not welcome - he should not embrace and flirt with the bridesmaids, as well as make inappropriate jokes.

The next stage of the wedding is the official part of the event in the registry office. And if during the ceremony the newlyweds should be serious and solemn, then after its completion, you can breathe out, relax and begin to accept congratulations. The groom usually has time to consider everything during the redemption, therefore special attention is riveted to the bride in the registry office. In order for the young wife not to feel somewhat bewildered, the husband must support her and always be with her.

At the gala evening in the restaurant, young people should be the first to greet elderly relatives and guests who were not at the official ceremony. Sitting at the table and accepting greetings from the older generation, the newlyweds should get up, and when congratulated by friends and young relatives, this is not necessary. When pronouncing toasts to guests, you also do not need to get up - you just need to nod at the speaker in person as a sign of attention. Also, young people need to be careful about alcohol, because after the excitement and wedding hassles, intoxication can occur very quickly.

Young spouses can leave in the evening at any time., putting this in the notice of parents and saying goodbye to elderly relatives. There is no need to say goodbye to all the guests individually. Fun, as a rule, is already in full swing, and the toastmaster is engaged in the presence.

For guests there is also a set of rules of conduct at the wedding.

• First of all, the guest must respond to the invitation and immediately indicate to parents or young people whether he will be present.This approach will help the couple to decide on seating the guests and save them from unnecessary expenses. Ideally, the answer should be given a maximum the next day after receiving the invitation.
• Also, guests must comply with the dress code. If the couple decided to spend the holiday in a certain style, then it is better to take care of the outfit in advance so that you do not feel like a “black sheep” among other guests.
• When you make toasts, you don’t need to get too carried away and turn the event into a “one-man show.” The toast should be short, kind and concise, not contain ambiguous overtones and not hurt anyone's feelings. The first toast is usually pronounced by the eldest and honorable participant of the celebration, and only then by everyone.
• During the festive dinner you need to communicate with all the guests, even with strangers - this will allow not only to get to know people who are close to the newlyweds, but also to make new friends. However, to be too intrusive is not worth it. You should not shout loudly, attract excessive attention to yourself and be zealous in your desire to help the toaster and organizers.
• A separate topic is the telephone. Before entering the registry office, you must turn off the sound or turn off the mobile phone. This is due to the fact that the official part is a rather serious and exciting process, and the cheerful melody of the call just smears all the solemnity of the moment. Also, you should not shoot every instant of celebration on the phone, because you were called to share the joy of the event, and not to duplicate the work of the invited operator. Therefore, it is better to look at the young with your own eyes, and not through the screen.

• It is necessary to take an active part in dances and competitions. It is necessary to understand that the wedding banquet is not limited to delicious food and drinks and includes an entertainment program, and participating in competitions and performances, the guest shows respect not only to the organizers of the event, but also to the heroes of the occasion.
• During the banquet, you can not rest your elbows on the table and reach for a far-away dish. In addition, it is not necessary to comment on the quality and quantity of dishes served, and if a product does not like it, then it is better to set it aside and ask the waiter to replace the plate. Also, one should not abuse the cries of "bitter" - the young must be hungry, and they should be allowed to eat in peace.
• Children at the wedding should be under constant control and in no way interfere with guests. First, the wedding is an adult holiday, and secondly, people have come to rest and are not obliged to tolerate the inconvenience caused by the behavior of children.

Along with the rules of etiquette, There are also a number of prohibitions that should not be violated in any way while at a wedding.

• At a wedding event you should not talk badly about the young, their parents and the organization of the holiday.
• The groom does not need to spin in the company of unmarried girls and talk about the adventures of his single life. This behavior is very offensive for the mother of the bride, and she may doubt the correct choice of the daughter.
• You can’t bring an uninvited person with you. Even if the guest goes to the wedding for the first time and does not know anyone except the groom or bride, you need to go alone and in the process of celebration find a worthy companion and interlocutor.
• It is impossible to set aside one of the spouses to talk, to come without a gift and to conflict with other guests.

Correct behavior and respect for all those present will be the key to a successful wedding and a guarantor of good mood.
