Dear Mrs. Thompson: In having
a home wedding, where there is to be
q flower girl. best man and maid
of honor, how should the bridal party
descend the stairs? The father does
not wish to give the bride away.
Should she come down with the
groom?
Also please send me a simple menu
for three-course wedding supper.
BETH.
Since you expect to have home
wedding, probably rather informal, it
will be all right to arrange things in
any way you choose. ] would sug
gest that the flower girl lead the we'd
ding procession, the maid of honor and
the best man follow, and the bride
and groom come last. OF course it is
customary for the groom and the best
man to wait at the altar while the
bride comes In on the arm Of her
father. But since your father does
not want to DO it that way it viii not
be at all necessary. It looks very
pretty for the bride to come in lean
ing on the arm Of the groom
Salad, usually chicken, and rolls,
| ice cream, cake and coffee make a
I very complete wedding supper.
