okies, thank you all for your help with it. Yes, we've done about the 2 ceremonies at school, and my mum has told me about it too, as my auntie married a Frenchman, but she coyuldn't remember all the details, and as my auntie is english, it wasn't going to by a typically French account anyway. My mum did remember there being an ice cream wedding cake though, but I don't quite think that that is the norm, although it sounds good :p thank you again. sally.

hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me as I'm not having much luck finding the information I need on the internet. I'm an AS level French student in the uk, and for my homework I need to answer some questions on typical french marriage arrangements, but there are a few points I'm unsure about, and I was hoping someone on this forum might be able to help me. 1. Who would traditionally pay for the wedding - the bride's parents    or     would the couple's parents share the costs? 2. Do couple usually choose to have several maids and men of honour, and also a little page boy who carries the ring    or     would they typically choose to have one maid of honour and one man of honour, who might walk in front of the bride on entering, and in front of the newly weds on leaving the ceremony? I could make educated guesses on what I think is the normal service, but after hearing about Normandy's onion soup ritual, I thought it would be better to research the topic. thanks. sally.
