5 Key Points to Seamlessly Wrap Your Arms Around Him Without Looking Awkward

Things I Want to Teach the Groom *

At weddings, there are several stances (ways of walking) for the bride and groom depending on the situation, such as holding hands, linking arms, or having the groom escorting the bride with a hand on her waist.

In this article, we will delve into the stance of [the groom's hand around the bride's waist], which is often seen during the bride's letter reading or cake cutting scenes.

On Instagram, I occasionally see brides' comments like:

"His hand placement was awkward."

"He looked really inexperienced 😂."

"I thought we wouldn’t need to practice, but I wish we had at least done it once beforehand."

To ensure that he supports the bride with a beautiful posture on the day of the wedding, it seems necessary to share and practice the correct ways to place the hands beforehand.*

Point 1: Stand Up Straight

Keep your back straight and chest out.

Be careful as slouching or having a hunchback may make you look a bit careless and pathetic.

Point 2: Don't Over-Extend the Hand

The position of the left hand is also important.

If the hand goes around to the bride's side body, it's a little too much.

- The back left side

- Just above the waistline

Placing the palm around this area looks elegant.

Point 3: Create an Angle with the Arm

The arm should not extend in a straight line from the shoulder to the bride’s waist.

Instead, try to bend the elbow slightly to create an angle; this will look more gentlemanly and stylish.

Point 4: Don't Grip Too Tight

Be careful not to grip the dress tightly with the left hand or hold the waist too firmly.

Even if you have a handkerchief, support the bride gently, as if you're softly placing your palm on her.

Point 5: Be Aware of Your Fingertips

Be conscious of how your fingertips look.

While it might be easy to let your hand hang loosely on the dress, it won’t look beautiful.

Be aware that your nails are visible, and keep your five fingers aligned while slightly bending the back of your hand to place it gently.
