Answer 1

I chose my own partner for my marriage. It was a religious ceremony in a Methodist church. About 250 friends and family attended. People dressed up; women wore skirts, dresses, suits, etc. and men wore suits or at least dress shirts and ties with dress pants. We said our vows, lit a "unity candle," kissed, and walked outside where we greeted guests after the ceremony. Afterwards, there was a reception at the country club. There were appetizers such as vegetables, dip, cheese, crackers, fruit, and chocolate. A sit-down dinner of chicken parmesan was served, with a side of new potatoes and greens. Dessert was wedding cake and cream cheese mints. My husband removed the garter from my leg (placed there before the wedding for this purpose) and threw it over his shoulder into a group of single men. (The one who caught it was supposed to be the next to get married.) I threw my bouquet of flowers over my shoulder to a group of unmarried women, and the one who caught it was supposed to be the next to get married. Then the man who caught the garter put it onto the leg of the woman who caught the flowers. Guests brought gifts with them to the reception and placed them on a big table. Some brought cards with money in them. The average monetary gift was $25, but many gave $50 and a few gave $100. My family and my husband's family did not exchange gifts. My family paid for the wedding and reception. My groom's family paid for the wedding rehearsal party the night before the wedding. I cannot compare my wedding to an African wedding, as I have no idea what one of those is like. I hope this helped you.
