Rules of etiquette for spouses entering the church
Before revealing our special classic of the most beautiful churches in Naples and why aiming at a beautiful aisle, some rules of etiquette to make the most of your choice:
- The groom . When one thinks of marriage, one considers only the entrance of the bride and her journey during the aisle. Well, the Neapolitan tradition includes some important rules of etiquette also for the groom. The latter must arrive at church at least 20 minutes before the wedding ceremony begins and welcome the guests.
- Disposition of the guests. Also the disposition of the guests follows very precise rules and above all they are connected to the relationship with the spouses. It is a good habit to place the groom’s guests on the right side of the nave and the bride’s guests on the left side of the nave.
- Bride . The bride’s delay is an inevitable ritual in every ceremony and generally should not exceed 15 minutes. At the entrance to the church, moreover, he will have to take a slow step and always look towards the groom throughout the journey on the nave.
And it is here that the importance of the nave comes into play, since if larger, it allows a simpler gait and does not hinder the movement of the veil. The bride will then have to place herself to the left of her husband.
