Consider this your permission to ignore these wedding day traditions.
, on average, couples pay for 49% of the wedding costs themselves with their families often covering the rest. But that percentage is even higher for LGBTQ+ couples and Gen Xers.“These days, the people getting married are more likely to be footing most — if not all — of the bill for the event,” Leighton said.A receiving line is when the couple and their parents line up to greet guests, typically as they exit the ceremony.
“The rallying cries of, ‘Let’s see all the single ladies’ and ‘Where are all of the eligible bachelors?’ for the traditional tosses of the bouquet and the garter belt are perceived as antiquated and unwanted by many modern couples,” Farley said. “That awkward display of pushing and shoving on the dance floor, followed inevitably by the cringe-worthy sight of a single man being encouraged to go ‘higher and higher’ when pushing the garter belt up the leg of a single woman, who is often a perfect stranger, should have been retired long ago,” he said. “In a win for good taste, it does appear the garter ritual, at least, is on the wane.”
While the garter toss ritual used to be considered “highly amusing,” Smith said, “Nowadays wedding couples safely save their lingerie for the privacy of the honeymoon.”There are two types of wedding guests: the ones who love to dance the night away until the DJ plays the last song and the ones who want to enjoy some dessert and then call it a night. In the past, folks in the latter group may have felt compelled to stay until the bitter end so as to not be seen as rude.
“It used to be the norm for guests to wait until after the couple departed from the celebration before leaving the party,” Smith said. “Nowadays, it is considered perfectly polite to exit the event after the wedding cake has been cut and dessert has been served.”
