Why do the bride and groom turn their backs toward their guests?

If you are like most people, you will find it quite annoying to stare at the bride and groom’s backs as they exchange their marriage vows. It’s disappointing to know that a bride puts a lot of effort into choosing the perfect wedding gown and bridal jewelry, while the guests spend most of their time staring at the back of her gown. In theatre, it is a common practice to ensure that actors avoid turning their back toward the audience or camera. While getting married has nothing to do with Hollywood or Broadway (although some couples have put on quite a production at some weddings), this practice should be adopted into wedding tradition as well.

If you are a modern bride looking for a non-traditional wedding ceremony, then you may consider facing your guests while exchanging vows. Your guests are sure to enjoy admiring your beautiful bridal gown and wedding jewelry—the look that you worked so hard to achieve.

It is amazing just how easy the men have it when it comes to purchasing their wedding attire. Let’s do a comparison…

On average, the bride spends anywhere from $600 to $1500 for her attire. The groom averages about $200 for his tuxedo and accessories. While the average cost for bridesmaid’s attire is nearly $300 per person, the average for groomsmen attire is about half of that. Some may argue that men suffer less wedding expenses because they are renting their attire—which means they won’t ever wear their tuxedos again. On the contrary, do the bride and bridesmaids wear their wedding attire again either?

To top it all off, some tuxedo stores have special offers which make the costs of tuxedos even cheaper…possibly free of charge! Have you ever heard of a bride or bridesmaid getting her wedding attire for free? Not in this lifetime, that’s for sure.
