She and her family are also responsible for her wedding attire and personal trousseau; wedding invitations and an- nouncements; wedding photographs; flowers for the church and the reception; bridesmaids' bouquets; transportation for the bridal party from house to church to reception; the reception and wedding cake. The costs normally assumed by the groom are: the marriage licence, engagement and wedding ring; a gift for the bride and gifts for the best man and ushers; the clergyman's fee; his wedding clothes and all costs of the wedding trip and honeymoon. The groom's family usually bears the ex- pense of the rehearsal party or dinner at- tended by the principals in the wedding and often enlarged to include close friends and relatives. Although sometimes borne by the groom, the cost of the bride's bouquet and going away corsage, flowers for the mothers and grandmothers, and boutonnieres for the men in the wedding party, are often includ- ed with the other flowers selected and paid for by the bride's family. The aide's attendants normally pay for their own bridal finery, although the style is chosen by the bride. The best man and ushers are responsible for their outfits, often rented from formal wear outfitters. The attendants, female and male, have the option of sponsoring a bridal shower and a stag evening, respectively.

Two main factors determine his choice — the mode of travel and the destina- tion. If you plan to fly or drive, travel clothes should be casual and comfortable. If a cruise is scheduled, the casual togs should be augmented by at least a suit or sport jacket and sWcks for dinner., It's a safe rule of thumb that for a two-week cruise, four complete and distinictly. different outfits will be enough. Your travel agent can advise whether a dinner jacket may be needed as well. • For travel by car or plane, a pair of jeans, two. pairs of slacks, and several sport shirts are among basic needs.
