Carrying the Bride Through the Threshold

In ancient times, sometimes the bride was unwilling and the wedding was accompanied by a kidnapping.  This comes from this story, but obviously today most brides are willing.

The Veil

The veil is used in Western societies as a symbol of the purity of the bride.  The husband ceremonially lifts the veil to signify his right to marry her.

Honeymoon

The honeymoon will be at the Marriot in Torrance, California.  It will cost $299 per night.  The area is filled with sight-seeing opportunities

Reception

The reception is going to be held at the same location as the wedding, the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
