Rules for seating

Where shall the bridal couple’s parents, relatives and other weddings guests sit? According to tradition the bridal couple sits in the middle of the head table, where everyone can see them. The bride sits next to bridegroom. The bride’s farther sits next to the bride to the right and next to him the bridegroom’s mother. To the left next to the bridegroom sits the bride’s mother and outside her sits the bridegroom’s father. To make it easy, the closer related, the nearer seated to the bridal couple. There may be situations that family members just do not get along. If so, it is best to keep them as far apart as possible. A rule is that married couples (besides the newlywed) shall not sit next to each other. During the dinner, the man has his lady dinner partner on the right.
