I'm getting married tomorrow and I have some questions that I realise I don't know the answer to

[newnewname19]

Few panicked thoughts just sprung to mind-

1. When I walk down the aisle who do I give my bouquet to and do I pick it up again to walk out of the church?
2. I have a really long veil, at what part of the day do I take it off?
3. Everyone says the bride should be late for the wedding- is ten mins enough? Will everyone be there by then?

So nervous!

Oh phew! I thought this was going to be waaay more serious lol! All the best for tomorrow

But do you have the answers lol?

I wasn't late I think personally it's a silly tradition but up to you.
Bouquet went to whoever I looked at first
I took my veil off after loads of people stood on it and kept yanking it out of my hair

Congratulations and good luck!

Your chief bridesmaid will hold your bouquet.

I didn't have a veil, but I would say take it off after the ceremony.

Dont be late!

Bouquet to check bridesmaid, they give it back for you to walk down the aisle.

I took my veil off before sitting down for dinner

No idea about late!

Do you carry your bouquet out again afterwards? So DHs hand in one hand and flowers In the other?

Oh also I remember my other question, what do I do with my engagement ring during the ceremony, take it off?

Chief!

1 - anyone nearby. Yes take it back at the end as you’ll want it in your photos.
2 - whenever it starts to get on your nerves
3 - don’t be late. Registrars often have tight deadlines to get to the next wedding somewhere else and so if you’re too late, they’ll just leave

All the best, have a lovely day

Ten mins is ok, to be honest five mins is fine! You can give your bouquet to your mum or bridesmaid or friend after you've walked down the aisle and collect it before you walk back out. Veil goes back at the altar and comes off after the photos. Have a great day

I handed it to one of the bridesmaids
I didn't wear a veil so can't help you there
I was on time. Hate being late. 10 mins sounds fine though.

Bouquet to a bridesmaid.
Veil... I took mine off in the evening for dancing!
Late... Well, this usually takes care of itself. My car was 10 mins late so that sounds perfect

Have a wonderful day. Try to take it all in & enjot.

Bouquethiuld be maid of honour but it doesnt matter as long as whoever it is expects it!

Dont worry about being late - on time is fine!

Veil - probably between ceremony and reception.

Have an amazing day!

Great thank you this has calmed my nerves

Any ideas re: engagement ring?

I'd give the bouquet to who ever is sat in the front aisle seat.

Aim to be on time, someone should let you know when everyone's seated.

Take it off whenever you like!

Good luck!

I just kept it at the hotel in a ring box I think. Not 100% now!

Engagement ring on ring finger of right hand and move back after the ceremony

Bouquet whoever is within arm's reach

Take your veil off when you like... Poss when you get to venue after church so it's not in way,unless there are more photos at venue and you want your veil in them

Ten mins is more than enough! You don't have to be late...it's not factored into priest / vicar / celebrant's time so ten mins max

Have an amazing day!!!

I think I moved my engagement ring to the other hand.

I just wore my engagement ring all day

Thanks @Northernlurker

I kept engagement ring on

Oh my goodness I'm getting bloody married

1. Bouquet to chief bridesmaid to hold and look after during service
2. Your veil - you decide. Probably after your main photos and before you eat (for comfort)
3. Don't be late if you don't want to be. Guests should be there in plenty of time. I arrived on time and any guests that ran late had to wait until I'd gone in before they could sit down.

Leave your engagement ring on and just add to it with the wedding band.

I'm sure I put my engagement ring on another finger just for the ceremony
