A wedding is a joyous event, but requires a lot of decisions to be made by the bride and groom to ensure that it is a momentous period in their lives. There are three significant parts to planning a wedding. There are many steps and decisions to be made before, during, and after this treasured event.

The groom's family normally gives the rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception is the responsibility of the bride's parents.
