I'm preparing for my first nanowrimo (wish me luck!) by practicing to write the opening chapter for other stories.
I'm aware i can't use what i've written for my actual novel, though i was wondering...
At a wedding, do the bride and groom generally stand on a specific side? I.e. Facing forwards once seated, Is the bride always on the left, right, or is it a general whatever-you-want? (with the ushers assisting her family to the left, right, or "general side" also?)
Would be grateful for the help!
Cheers =]

In the States at least, I believe the left side of the church is the bride's side and the right side of the church is the groom's side, to the point that it used to be common for the ushers to seat guests on one side or the other depending on who they were related to/friends of.(Brides family/friends on the left, Groom's family/friends on the right) just as you've said.
If your characters are such that they would have a traditional church wedding, it would probably be set up like that. Not sure how prevelant the seating is, I believe general/mixed seating has become commonplace.
