Nuptial ceremony practice
A wedding custom is an established practice or ritual associated with marriage ceremonies.
These vary widely across cultures and may include exchanging rings, throwing rice, wearing specific colors, or following particular sequences of events.
The bride's father walking her down the aisle is a wedding custom that some couples now modify or skip entirely.
