Ultimate Mother of the Bride Quiz

Tradition says that the groom's parents should call the bride's parents and introduce themselves.

It's most common nowadays for the bride and groom to arrange their parents' first meeting.

It's never a good idea to wear white to a wedding in which you are not the bride. Seriously. So unless your daughter specifically OKs it, don't do it.

The groom's family traditionally foots the honeymoon bill.
