A wedding celebrates family and friends as well as the bride and groom.  Although the marriage can be preformed with just a few people present, most wedding couples want those who are important to them in their lives to be part of the wedding party. How many of us have been bridesmaids a few times and our husbands or boyfriends have been in the wedding party also. These roles have changed through the years and organizing the wedding party issues have changed. Remember to ask early so travel arrangements can be made for the out of town wedding friends and family.
