"Important Manners for the Groom to Keep in Mind During the Wedding Ceremony!"
2017.01.23 published
The success of the ceremony depends on... the "groom"!
The "ceremony," where you vow eternal love with him. The bride likely studies how to behave during the ceremony. She has naturally seen what other brides regret during their ceremonies and has expanded her image by looking at various photos. So, even if she hasn’t studied formally, she should somehow have an idea of how to behave beautifully.
But... how about your groom? It's likely that, unlike the brides, he isn't looking at photos of senior grooms on Instagram or searching for "ceremony etiquette groom" to study.
The sad reality is that among the things many brides regret about their ceremony, there are many concerns related to "him," such as "he dropped the wedding rings during the exchange," "he didn't properly lift the veil," and "his kiss of promise was too short or too long."
Therefore, it is important for the groom to review the points of attention for the ceremony! To have a wonderful ceremony, it cannot be done solely by the bride's efforts. Please make sure to tell him, "Please do this during the ceremony!"
Tips to Share with Him! Groom's Ceremony Attention Point 1: Stay Calm During the Ring Exchange!
It's a common scenario where the groom drops the ring during the exchange! It feels sad to think about dropping it just when you are about to exchange rings.
So, make sure not to drop the ring! To prevent dropping it, hold the bride's right hand with your left hand and slide the ring onto her finger with your right hand. Support her hand with your left hand to prevent instability.
Also, even if it doesn't go on smoothly the first time, it’s a no-go to take the ring off! Make sure to put it on slowly and gently. If it gets stuck around the second knuckle, it's best to let her gently put it on the rest of the way later.

Tips to Share with Him! Groom's Ceremony Attention Point 2: Lift the Veil Carefully and Beautifully
The next point to pay attention to is, "Lift the veil carefully and beautifully."
If you rush to lift the veil, it often ends up being messy in the back. So, please make sure to lift it carefully and beautifully.
However, being too cautious and making too many adjustments is also not ideal. It's best to gently smooth it out 2 or 3 times.

Tips to Share with Him! Groom's Ceremony Attention Point 3: Promise Kiss Should Last About 3 Seconds
Next, please pay attention to the duration of the promise kiss. If the kiss is too short, guests may think, "Wait, is it over already?" and you might miss a photo opportunity. On the other hand, if it's too long, guests might feel embarrassed!
Therefore, the best duration for the promise kiss is "to take about 3 seconds." Remembering "3 seconds" can seem quick in the middle of the ceremony's tension, and it may only feel like 1 or 2 seconds actually passed. So, let's keep the "3 seconds" in mind!

To make the wedding successful, it's not enough for just the bride to do her best. Your wedding is something you create together. Work together and have the most delightful and happy wedding in the world!
