I am from Australia\nas this country is multi-cultural; then we do not really have any fixed customs as such.\nhowever -  some things that have usually been done here are:-\n the groom & his attendants are already in place with the celebrant when the bride enters the ceremony venue being escorted by her father. the bridal attendants would precede the bride down the aisle.\nthe couples families & other guests would then often place ""good luck charms"" ( horseshoes;hearts;shoes - made from ribbons/cardboard/crocheted; & attached to a ribbon) over the arm of the bride as she & the groom walked back down the aisle.\nas the emerged from the church - the assembled guest would throw confetti over the couple ( this has been replaced by flower petals/bird seed/bubbles)\nat thestart of the reception - all the guests are assembled at their tables & the couple "announced" as they enter the room\nat the end of the reception the guests would form an arch of linked hands for the couple to walk under & every one hugs/kisses them as they leave\nask how her parents conducted their wedding.\nif you have any "australiana stores in your area you may be able to purchase things that you could use a favours or decorations\nmany brides also use the verse \n"something old; 'something new; something borrowed ; something blue; & a sixpence in your shoe: \nwhen putting their outfits together- all the items are meant for good luck \n the something old can be a grandmothers brooch pinned on or into the dress; \nmail me if I can be of further help

your engagement ring goes on your ring finger on your left hand, so the finger next to your pinky. then when you get married, the wedding band goes with the engagement ring, and when you've been together for a year, the anniversary ring goes with both. usually it's a set, but it doesn't have to be.

some say it is closer to the heart but it all boils down to tradition it didn't matter which hand teh ring went on but our society is built on tradition and protacol, so some smart person came up with the idea of having the wedding band on the left hand probably because itis closer 2 the herat or someother theology but throughout history people just decided to follow this person with the bright idea and so we are hear to follow 2.

Well, wedding rings are not part of the Islamic religion. That is mostly tradition, and wedding rings come from the Christian tradition (the first three fingers stand for the trinity and then the "ring finger" is where you put the ring in.) So, actually, wedding rings aren't really allowed in Islam, b/c they imitate another religion. Rings for any other purpose are allowed for both men and women, except that men cannot wear yellow gold, or pure gold at all.\n\nThe most important part of the wedding is the wedding feast, in which it is recommended that everyone who is invited should try their best to attend (an obligation on every Muslim is to attend this feast if they are invited, unless there is an emergency, of course), and the bride/groom should invite all people in the community (as many as they can afford) - whether rich or poor, etc. This is what publicizes that a couple is married, and now when people see them together, they can't pass accusations about them, b/c they have let everyone know that they are married. :) And, the wedding feast is called the "waleemah." It's very beautiful, indeed. :)

In the backyard of my house with a big white tent set up and tiki torches all over the yard and colorful lanterns hanging from the tree. And a band playing all night long to the 100 or so guests invited. =) That's the way our wedding is planned so far.

Left, although in practice, many Japanese married people don't wear wedding rings.  \n\nThose who do wear them, put them on the left hand, on the same finger that we do.\n\nI lived in Japan for six years, by the way.

Yes. Why would you want to bring the symbols of all failed marriages into a new one? You should pawn them and move on. With the money you receive from the old rings, get a new ring to start anew life.

You're going to be wearing this ring for a long, long time, hopefully for the rest of your life, so for heaven's sake, get what you like! A good bet is to think about the jewelry you wear now, the stuff you find yourself grabbing again and again because you prefer it and it flatters you (watch, earrings, necklaces, etc.) If it's mostly yellow gold, then that's probably what you should choose in a wedding ring.\n\nAnd, no, there's no reason in the world that your two rings need to match. You are two different people, with two different styles, which is a great thing, and should be celebrated. (by the way, my fiancee chose an antique styled yellow gold band, and I chose a more modern styled white gold one. we have the same psalm inscribed in our rings, which unites our two very different styled rings.)\n\nGood luck, and congrats!

You could forgo rings completely and do a "binding" or "handfasting" ceremony instead, this is done with cords - the officiant loosely ties the hands of the bride and groom together, binding them. (The cords are removed after the "binding").  If you need a ceremony for this email me and I will find one to suit you.\n\n Or if you want to do the rings just have the ring fitted to your little finger or your middle finger.  The audience wont know what finger your ring was put on unless you make a big deal out of it.\n\nGood Luck
