It is often explained by historical reference - back in times the groom might need his right arm to defend the trophy from unhappy in-laws. This can't explain though why now when the newly married couple is leaving the church, she is often at his right. Traditionally, during the Ceremony the Bride is at the Groom’s left arm.

Still, you can position yourself all you want but sometimes it just doesn't go off right because the wedding party does it real sloppy. Happened to me recently. This is good advice.

In fact mostly everything is done faster and better by the professionals, including wedding videos. The point is that 9 out of 10 brides - I may be wrong on numbers, so correct me if you know better - do not hire professional videographers. Therefore amateur camera persons, or people new to business, can get help from this article. 100% agreed.

Prioritizing is essential. That's why I recommend to deal with the bridal party and the close relatives beforehands, preferably before the ceremony and definitely before the reception.

When you come across a guest who's hesitant, instead of saying "OK no problem, " I usually say "If you change your mind just let me know. I know the happy couple would love to hear from you!" Let that simmer in the guest's mind for an hour, and you will see that 3 out of 4 times (my best estimate), they will search you out before the end of the reception. I also would go one step further in organizing who to hit first. I believe that if you have a pretty fair understanding on who is part of which party (as far as the happy couple's family and inner circle), you should make sure to go up to them first. That way when you start going towards friends of the family or the couple, you won't get the cold shoulder from relatives like you would if you try to get their sound byte after friends.

I personally have no objections. Look around, I am sure you'll be able to spot one willing to accommodate your situation. In fact I have worked on several Orthodox/Catholic weddings, and all the participants are still alive and in good health. The way it worked for my customers, they would pick one church, either Catholic or Orthodox and followed it's rituals. So may I suggest you do the same? I have some issues with the mixed weddings covered in another, more recent post here. Technically it may be considered an obstacle by some clerics. I personally have no objections.

Can it be the obstacle for their marriage ceremony in church? Also, please give your advice as for the right hand to put a marriage ring on (Orthodox and Catholics wear rings on different hands). What is the wayout? thank you. If a bride is Orthodox and her groom is Catholic. Can it be the obstacle for their marriage ceremony in church?
