Edit This section of the wedding ceremony on the etiquette, almost every wedding, the bride and groom will be like a statue set up, frequently switching guests to take pictures,

rotating table toast, each couple to stand in full view, walking, seated, the thought of their own actions can not escape the eyes of the crowd

light, is not the heart of the nervousness , the following to teach you some of the basic etiquette to ensure that it is used.　　1, sitting: the posture of the upper body is the most critical when taking pictures with relatives, the posture of the upper body is the most critical, if you have "ah! Finally can sit down" this idea, people will instantly like a deflated ball like a cat up to the waist, it will be very difficult to see, can not be careless. So always keep a sense of tension, especially if the bride is wearing a low-cut gown, sitting in the center of the chair, twisting the waist, so as to appear broad shoulders, slim body. Wear a slender gown, the legs diagonally down, can make the legs appear slender; if the groom sits listlessly, the trouser leg will automatically lift upward, revealing the socks,

Indecent, so pay special attention to be sure to sit down before the first to lift the knees of the pants. 2, the standing posture: naturally straight back, each other consciously spelled out figure of eight shape groom slightly curved his right arm, so that the bride inserted her hand into the elbow, to be Note that the bride should not pull the groom's clothes, so that there is a feeling of timidity. In addition the bride, so as not to step on the skirt, and not too far away. The bride should not die holding the groom's arm, as if afraid he will escape.　　3, walking: striking entrance ceremony some brides are not accustomed to wearing a wedding dress and high heels, there may be stepped on the skirt of the accident, so the dress should not be too long, and walk the right way is: kicking the skirt with the toes, the soles of the feet lightly rubbed across the ground, slowly forward. Strictly speaking, the bride's eyes should always look straight ahead, try to put the line of sight in front of 10 meters, which is conducive to taking pictures, but for safety reasons, the bride's eyes can be slightly down, but not too low to avoid affecting the image.　　4, kiss: natural and generous to complete, shy and anti-feel very strange, the ceremony of the kiss has a sacred meaning, the two should behave naturally and generously. Wedding when the vows when kissing, inexplicable shyness, wriggling or make a show of protruding lips kissing instead of disgusting, photos or video or, will be quite unnatural. The correct posture is as follows: the groom gently grasped the bride's arm, the other hand around her waist, as

as a hint, the bride will be slightly lifted up her face, so that onlookers feel that the two are close to a very natural gesture, there is a sense of mystery, looks beautiful. Kissing

The timing of the two first said, so that when the time comes will not be wrong, the bride should be used beforehand napkins gently try to remove the surface of the thick lipstick, so as not to leave a very clear lipstick in

groom's face. Remember, is to gently hold the arm, will face slightly upward more natural, don't like stamping.　　5, read the letter: must show full of sincere feelings in the wedding, the bride and groom read aloud to family, relatives, friends of the thank you

letter must be very serious, because this is a very serious scene in the wedding ceremony, the sincere emotion is important. After writing the letter, I must personally practice it beforehand to avoid any deviation in the formal reading. The content should be true, can make the guests have **** Ming, try to create a scene full of deep feelings.　　6, turn around: gently grab the lapel of the dress, quickly turn around the dress and the general clothes are different, want to just change the direction of a little bit is not done. Not

The trick to dragging the skirt to exaggerate the posture of the turn is to turn around with the opposite direction of the rotation of the hand gently grab the skirt and skirt support slightly upward, in wearing a long skirt, draped in a long veil, hang them on their wrists, instantly and quickly turn around.　　7, smile: overflowing happy smile upturned corners of the mouth, soft smile. A happy smile on the face of the new couple is the guests' favorite to see, many people take pictures of the smile is deliberately piled up, shot, the face of the smile is not, so the smile is very fake. The way to practice the smile is to hold a chopstick across your mouth, with the corners of your mouth upturned to look like you are smiling. Keep the mouth shape unchanged, take the chopsticks out, will complete the smile,

Then repeated drills, practiced to the extent that the smile does not show teeth will be accomplished.　　8, bowing: while smiling while slightly bending the upper body and nodding pleasantries on the wedding inevitably frequent bowing essentials: First, the back should be straight, above the waist of the body tilted forward; second, bowing to be full of emotion, bending the range of about 15 degrees or so, the two should be cooperated with, do not "rise and fall". A pause of one second can be maintained, and when bowing to the bridegroom during the music, do not forget that the whole body must be facing him. Be careful not to protrude from the chin, only nodding curtsy or stooping too much will look indecent, pay attention to bowing time do not raise their eyes to look at people.　　9, change the ring: realize the most romantic scene nervous, even the ring can not wear in! People who have this embarrassing experience may wish to practice a few times beforehand, the bride to help the groom to wear the ring, the groom bent his elbow and put his hand to the height of the natural bend. The bride holds the groom's hand in her left hand while the thumb, index and middle fingers of her right hand hold the ring and put it on the groom's ring finger. Usually, in the wear not up, the bride will unconsciously exaggerated up, hold on to his hand,

Put into their own eyes carefully the ring to his ring finger set, in fact, this posture is very out of shape, the photos taken are not good.　　10, cut the cake: a great photo opportunity in the wedding reception in the most photographed scene is a new couple cut the cake, so close to the camera, the slightest movement of the finger tips will make the bride and groom feel nervous. Cut the cake in the correct position is the bride's right hand holding a knife, the groom will cover the left hand in the bride's right hand, the groom's right arm around the bride's waist, the bride's left hand to assist the right hand to cut the cake, this is the most beautiful posture, and in the stance of the still maintain a close figure of eight, and, the two line of sight to maintain the same, is conducive to the photographs taken more perfect. Turn back not only turn your face, the whole body to turn.　　11, lighting candles: a picturesque scene, light the wedding candles straight back is the focus of the focus. Often people fail at this point,

Because the bride and groom holding the ignition stick in the candle far away from the place to reach out and light the fire, this posture will make the two protruding chin, open mouth, look ridiculous, and the two arm lengths are different, if the bridegroom to the arm completely straightened, the bride will be the body leaning forward.　　Therefore, the groom has to take into account the length of the bride's arms to decide where to stand. This is called the "Groom's Guide". The groom puts his other hand on the bride's waist and, like a dance, adjusts the distance by means of finger cues, leading the bride half a step away from the table. The bride should pay attention, do not forget to put the hands of the bouquet of flowers facing outward.　　12, uncovering the veil: steady action, cooperate with each other the bride should straighten the back, slightly squatting to match each other, the serious atmosphere of the wedding should not let the groom uncovered the veil of irregularities, indecent action to spoil. In order to make it easier for the groom to lift the veil, it is necessary to reduce the height of the bride should be the center of the main support point of the habitual foot, the other foot backward across a small half-step, straight back slightly bent knees, the kind of curved waist and buttocks posture will be very difficult to see.　　13, cheers: while gently raising the glass, pay attention to the way to raise the main first, in listening to the toast, the bride should take off the gloves, placed on the table.

The wine glass should be end to the chest, with the sound of cheers with gratitude will be slightly oblique upward, amplitude if not too big, should not let the wine glass cover the face, from any angle photo will be very beautiful. If the two chairs are far away, you can stand a little closer, intentionally make a "figure of eight"

Standing, so that the overall appearance of the beautiful. In addition, when holding a glass of wine, you should arrange the position of the fingers. When listening to others speak, you should hold the bottom of the glass steady with your left hand.
