The Tradition of Bride Standing on Groom's Left





Do you know where or why this wedding tradition was started?

In Ancient times, grooms had to defend their brides at the wedding ceremony. You know the part when they ask if anyone objects to the wedding? It used to be a whole lot more common for folks to object. Sometimes it was other suitors of the bride, sometimes it was her own family members. The groom historically stood to the right of the bride to keep his sword hand (usually his right hand) free. If anyone came to attack he could push the bride aside with his left hand and draw his sword with his right.

Nowadays you can stand wherever you want, there are no hard and fast rules unless it conflicts with your faith somehow. As in the case of a Jewish ceremony, the bride is often on the right and the groom on the left.
