People love weddings; it is a time when love is celebrated.

A wedding reception is held after the completion of a wedding ceremony. This is an event where 2 people are joined in holy matrimony to share their lives together as husband and wife. This is a very special occasion, which is celebrated simply because it is one of the best reasons to feel happy about life.

From the church, chapel, or court, the bride and groom, together with the guests, go to where the reception is held. This can be an intimate setting, or it can be a huge hall, depending on the number of guests. The reception can be very elegant and formal, or it can take on the nature of a picnic or outdoor barbeque, it all depends on the preference of the married couple.

In western society, a wedding reception consists of various traditions which form part of the celebration. Toasts, speeches, dancing, wedding cake, bouquet, garter etc. are some of the elements which form part of the wedding reception.

Wedding traditions vary between countries, and between regions of the same countries. Wedding reception catering is not always the same; it can be a buffet or a sit down menu.

Some traditions include:

The bride tosses her bouquet over her shoulder to a group of all the single women present. Whoever catches it is supposed to be the next to get married.

Similarly, the groom tosses the bride's garter to the single men, often after removing it from her leg, to the amusement of the guests. On occasion, the bride will "rig" the bouquet toss by tossing the bouquet to a woman who is engaged. The groom then arranges for the fiance of the bouquet toss winner to receive the bride's garter. Sometimes the man who catches the garter is supposed to put it on the leg of the woman who catches the bouquet, or the garter is sold in a raffle instead of being tossed.
