Hi everyone!
Excuse my ignorance (i haven't been to many weddings and i'm not from the US!), but how does the couple generally enter the reception/dinner area after the cocktail hour?
Do the bridal party, groomsmen and parents of the bride & groom do an entrance too? Or only the bride and groom? If it's the former, is it usually parents, then bridesmaids/groomsmen, then the couple? And the couple do their first dance at this time (before everyone sits down to eat?) Is that right?
I would just really like to know what's the norm in the US! I'm currently in France and usually only the bride and groom do an "entrance" and the first dance happens later for opening the dance floor AFTER the dinner/dessert, so i'd really like to know how it works elsewhere.
Thanks!
