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!

Engagement ring can go on your right hand before the ceremony.

Then the wedding ring goes on a bare finger - most brides have photos without putting the engagement ring back on.

Engagement ring on other hand for ceremony, move it onto left afterwards.

Transfer your engagement ring to your right hand before the ceremony, so the wedding ring can go on to the finger.

Take your veil off when you get fed up of it!

Good luck for tomorrow

Engagement ring on right hand ring finger until after ceremony. Have a wonderful day!

Take the veil off whenever you want I took mine off about 7pm.
Don't be late on purpose.
The registrar will explain what to do with your flowers.

Engagement ring on right hand until after ceremony.

I gave my bouquet to my only bridesmaid.
I wasn't late as I had to be there 10 minutes before the ceremony to have the chat with the registrar.
I kept my veil on until I changed into my reception dress after all formalities. I would have felt wrong taking my veil off while I had my dress on. To me the two went together, I wouldn't have worn one without the other.

Good luck tomorrow. Get a good nights sleep.

I was there early (driven by my dad who is a stickler for that sort of thing) but the bloody registrar was late and the building was locked! Fun times.

We still ended up married and now we have a funny story to tell too. Good luck!

Swop engagement ring to the other hand for the ceremony. Take the veil off after pics. Have a terrific wedding day and married life..now get some sleep!×

Put your engagement ring on to the ring finger of your right hand.
After the ceremony sometime later, transfer it to your left hand.The wedding ring always goes on first followed by the engagement ring.
Enjoy the day.

Give.your flowers to a bridesmaid and then they give them back when you walk back down the aisle.
I took my veil off as we sat down to eat.
I wasn't late to my wedding.
You can keep your engagement ring on or just take it off. Up to you..there are no rules.

Please relax and enjoy it!

Good luck! Long life and happiness to you and your DH.

Have a wonderful day!

Have the best day OP

Ring on to right finger

Congratulations!!

I was only late because the wedding car forgot to come back and pick me up after dropping my bridesmaids
Good luck op and have a lovely day

Do not arrive late - it's rude.

Have a great day!

Most of it is totally up to you - bouquet to a bridesmaid, veil on until after photos or when you want to take it off, be on time if you want!

I was early to my wedding. Guests were still arriving and I was in the car desperate to go in and get married!

Probably depends on your venue but at mine, I arrived on time to find that guests were still arriving so the venue staff told us to drive around the block and come back. You have to sit down for a short chat with the registrar (assuming registrar, I don't know for church weddings) so there is time for guests to get settled while you do that. I wouldn't be deliberately late.

Ring into right hand as pp have said.

Have fun!

I got married at couple of weeks ago and had all these questions too.

Bouquet was taken off me by the registrar and put on the table as an adding decor thing.

Engagement ring I put on my right hand and swapped it over after the ceremony.

I got married in a hotel and got ready in a room there. They phoned up to me once the ceremony was ready to begin.

Sorry didn’t wear a veil so can’t help you there!

Good luck and congratulations :)

Bouquet to Chief Bridesmaid
I would be only a couple of mins late
Engagement ring on other hand
Kept veil on , it was long and wore it wound around my arm to walk but it wasn't a problem at all.
Congratulations and Good Luck to you both !

I had my engagement ring on my right hand, and moved it over to sit above the brand new wedding ring whilst we were signing the register.

Arrive on time - your time being five minutes after the time all your guests are meant to be in their seats.

I didn't have a veil, but traditionally it goes up at the altar before the vows (so groom and congregation can see it's really you)

As someone who works a lot of wedding ceremonies, can I plead that you not be late. This is especially true if you want any pictures taken at the venue before the service/ceremony. It really is rude to those who are not guests at your day and who may have other ceremonies to get to that same day to make them wait for you.

Put your watch on at the reception (give to DM to have in handbag) I needed to know the time so I could stop every so often to drink it all in
