        Help! I'm a Wedding Guest

The list knows that its gentle members are being inundated with wedding
invitations of every ilk. To clarify the etiquette for a host of disparate
marriage services, today's site offers helpful suggestions for 23 marriage
ceremonies from African American to Wiccan.

". . . many guests are often unsure about proper etiquette and customs when
attending weddings outside of their own experience. So, here are some
general guidelines. Keep in mind that in most traditions and cultures,
there will be variations or different adaptations depending on local custom
or personal taste. I even know of cases where although the bride and groom
are from the same culture, the parents on each side will insist on
"traditional" rituals that are completely foreign to the other family. I
hope the following information will give you a basic understanding and a
good starting point. Enjoy the ceremony. " - from the website
