WEDDINGS IN THE UNITED STATES

Weddings in the United States were once based out of commodity, rather than desire or love. The word "wedding" implied the security the groom family provided to the family of the bride when the couple married. Brides were chosen based on their economical worth. This trend lasted until the 19th century, when couples started to marry for love.

In the 19th century, weddings were typically small, intimate ceremonies at the home of either the parents of the bride and the parents of the groom. The announcement of the new married couple take place at their church on the Sunday following the wedding. In the 1820s and 1830s, weddings became more elaborate, when upper class couples had wedding ceremonies similar with modern custom. The bride usually wore the better dress she owned, so her dress was not always white, as white dresses were impractical to own. Not only the middle of the 19th century did brides start buying a dress made specifically for their wedding day. At the same time, couples began to hire professionals preparing floral arrangements and wedding cakes, rather than making them at home.

Today, couples in the United States are waiting later in life to get married. The average age for males getting married in the United States is 27 years old, nonetheless, women's average age is 25.
