So I have been told that you are only supposed to say Congratulations to the man. So Congratulations Lox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never know what to say to the woman if I can't say congratulations. So I will say I am very happy for you beebop. I still don't know why you aren't supposed to say that to the woman.

I sincerely wish you both the happiest of lives shared. :):)

Congrats to the man: because it's assumed he's getting the better end of the deal
Best wishes to the woman: because, well, every woman knows it's going to take some wishes and luck to turn him into prince charming! (j/k) But really - the Congrats IS because it conveyed the sense that he was lucky to get her. (her dowry, her land, and control of everything)

Do you want to know why the bride is walked down the aisle with her father? Did you know she was to walk on his non-dominate side? - in the event he had to pull his sword to protect her on the way down the aisle. Also - in some cases - she wasn't going willing, so he "escorted" her to make sure she stood before the preacher. And the reason the bride's side and the groom's side sat on opposite sides of the church was to prevent fighting! lol

Well I had some real elaborate plans for June however the ring came in (at work) about an hour before I left for Philly so I put the ring in my pocket. About 5 minutes after seeing her I just couldn't imagine waiting one minute more so I just did it. She said yes. I know kinda dull huh - but it worked :)

Nothing dull about that story:) True love just couldn't wait to be shared !:wub:
