Ten Wedding Traditions That Are More Popular Now Than Twenty Years Ago

The desire to stand out has made several traditions seem way too staid, stuffy, and impersonal.  Now we pick and choose our traditions, forcing some to disappear while allowing others to have their moment.  Here are some traditions more popular today than they were twenty years ago . .

Father walking the Bride down the aisle
Throwing the bouquet of flowers
Best Man speeches
Bride and Groom cutting the wedding cake
Signing the Guest Book
Party Favors
Bouquet of flowers or corsages for the Mothers of the Bride and Groom
Group photos
Man proposing on one knee

Meanwhile traditions like having a drink before walking down the aisle, asking the Bride's Father for permission to marry, changing into going-away clothes for honeymoons that immediately follow weddings, throwing confetti and decorating cars with "Just Married" signs and carrying Brides over thresholds are nearly extinct.  From shine.yahoo.com
