Make sure that any monies payable to venders on the day of are paid (with bridal couples $$$), make the first toast,Be appropriate and do not mention any one night stands the groom may have had. Sign the marriage certificate, MAKE SURE THE GROOM EATS PRIOR TO EVENT to prevent passing out!!!!  Make sure that no one in the bridal party gets too trashed. Hold on to the rings, it is also nice to get the other groomsmen out on the dance floor and encourage them to dance with girls, young and old that may be there solo. Trust me...it means the world to them... I will never forget a guy who asked me to dance with him, even though I had a wedding ring on, because my husband could not make it to the wedding. Overall, be classy and have fun. Oh yeah, it is also your job to deliver any gift that the groom may have for his bride on the day of the wedding. Take a picture of her opening it or a video...it will be something they will treasure forever.

For an arranged marriage, it's understandable how there can be some conflict arising from the circumstances but...Refuse! You have to stop for a second and think about your husband's desires.  It is important for you to show respect towards yourself and not do just anything he tells you to.  Express to him your discomfort, and if he as loving as he seems to be, he will get your point.  He also should take down that site and respect your privacy, especially since he never asked for your consent. \n\nIf he isn't willing to do that...then get a divorce if possible and move on.

Start out with how you know the bride and how honored you are to be the maid of honor.  Then say something about when you first met the groom.  You could talk about what a great couple they are and how happy you are that they found each other.  Congratulate them and wish them well.  It doesn't have to be funny.  A nice, sincere wish of happiness for them will be perfect.

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

I think you should forget about this married man. If he has told you he wont leave his family, then just cut your losses and leave.  Dont play second best to someone else, you're worth more than that.\n\nI cant advise you on the arranged marriage business as I am not familiar with how religion works but surely if you are not happy to be made to marry someone, you cannot be forced to do it.

Here's what I know:\n\nThe bride wears:\nSomething Old\nSomething New\nSomething Borrowed\nSomething Blue\n\nThe bride wears a penny in her shoe for good luck.\n\nThe special dances are bride and groom, father daughter, and mother son is optional\n\nThe groomsmen are actually a part of the wedding to protect the bride from potential sutors. The bridesmaid used to dress like brides to act as decoys if the bride is to be kidnapped.\n\nDuring the ceremony, the bride stands on the grooms left side so his sword hand is ready.\n\nThe bride carries flowers to mask her odor (if she hadn't showered -- think 1500s)\n\nSpeeches at a wedding are from the best man, maid of honor and the father of the bride.\n\nWhen guests clink their glasses with silverware the bride and groom have to stop and kiss.\nHope these help -- I know they're random!

For the vast majority of western people, no.  But, I am sure that there are some families who still practice arranged marriage.  I don't personally know any, though.

I think that the Groom is supposed to pick that out.\nYou are supposed to be blending in with the others so the groom stands out, it's his day not yours, you can be all hott another day.

Psst....it's a coy act, flattering to your ego: but it's still a classic female act.  Simply spend a bit of time around her.....show her POLITELY you're interested; if she's interested--you'll know.\n\nThe rest from there should unfold naturally.  Pray the clothes DON'T unfold off naturally; that tends to complicate things in the long run.  However, if they do, pratice common sense and safe sex.\n\nCourse I'm getting ahead of things, aren't I?  Then, there's the wedding to plan.........

The Bride is the BOSS at the wedding.\n\nIt's her day... what she says goes... \n\nIf she doesn't want Bridesmaids... done.  Next question?\n\nOh yeah... there IS ONE?\n\nHave them give a toast at the reception... or help with the carving of the cake or something... or just let them enjoy the ceremony as a GUEST.

Take a walk anywhere "nice" women are walking (e.g., sidewalk in a nice part of your city). When you see someone really interesting, say, "Hello," introduce yourself, and take her with you. If she is busy at that very moment, get her phone number and make sure you call her. If she is married (also a possibility), apologise and move on; she will be too flattered to hold a grudge. Do this until you get someone. By the way, if you don't see anything that you like at any time, wait until you do. You will see someone you like soon enough.\n\nAnother place to pick up nice girls is at a grocery store. However, keep in mind that others will be near you there, so you won't get as much privacy to ask for her number; and it is good for the two of you to bond from the beginning -- just the two of you, even for a moment. If she has only a couple of items, insist on paying for them at the register, then walk her to her car. It will not cost much, but you will already be getting her attention that she can rely on you. (No, it is not a money thing, it is a security thing.) Again, if she is married or attached, apologise and move on. Soon enough you will wind up with someone you are happy with.

The only choice that I can think of is marriage by proxy. That would mean that your fiancee would need to choose someone to stand in for him. You should check with the local clerk's office to find the answer. They would be able to tell you whether or not you could perform a ceremony without his physical presence being required.
