What Are Formalities?

Formalities are procedures that are traditionally carried out at a wedding.

These normally consist of hymeneals, nuptials, the wedding ceremony, speeches, the first dance, and the cutting of the cake.

Key Points

When it comes to speeches the best man normally starts the toast and gives his speech. He is then followed by the maid of honor.
The groom normally responds to the best man and then the parents as well as other guests can also say a speech.
The speeches are usually followed by the first dance and then the cutting of the cake and the throwing of the bouquet.
