Elopement is a type of marriage that happens quickly and secretly. It often includes a sudden departure from one’s home with a partner, with the goal of getting married without the permission of their parents. This is different from an abduction, such as bride kidnapping, where one person does not agree to the marriage.
A wedding reception is a party held after a marriage ceremony. It is a way for the newly married couple to welcome family and friends, which is why it is called a reception—because the couple receives guests for the first time as a married pair. Hosts choose the food and drinks, and a wedding cake is often included.
“Wiener Blut” (also called “Vienna Blood” or “Viennese Spirit”), Op. 354, is a waltz written by Johann Strauss II. It was first performed by Strauss on April 22, 1873.
The “Bridal Chorus” (German: “Treulich geführt”) from the 1850 opera Lohengrin by German composer Richard Wagner, who also wrote the words of the opera, is a musical piece played as the bride walks into the ceremony at many formal weddings in the Western world. In English-speaking countries, it is often called “Here Comes the Bride” or “Wedding March.” However, the term “wedding march” can refer to any music played in a march rhythm during the bride’s entrance or exit, such as Felix Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March.” Wagner’s piece became well-known when it was used for the processional at the wedding of Victoria, Princess Royal, to Prince Frederick William of Prussia in 1858. In the opera Lohengrin, the chorus is sung by the women in the wedding party after the ceremony, as they walk with the character Elsa to her bridal chamber.
Music is often played during wedding celebrations, including during the ceremony and at events before or after the wedding. The music may be performed live by musicians or singers, or it may use recorded songs. This depends on the type of event, cultural traditions, and the couple’s preferences.
The money dance, dollar dance, and apron dance are wedding customs in many cultures where guests give money to the newlyweds during the celebration. These traditions differ across cultures. Some guests pay to dance with the bride or groom for a short time, while others give cash gifts or attach money to the couple’s clothing.
A wedding cake is the traditional cake served at wedding receptions after dinner. In some parts of England, the wedding cake is served during a wedding breakfast. This term does not mean the meal happens in the morning, but rather after the wedding ceremony on the same day.
