Does the Mother of the Groom have the right to choose a Brooklyn bridal gown for the bride? It is not always known that role the Mother of the Groom plays in her son's wedding. Choosing the perfect Brooklyn bridal gown for the bride may not be one of her responsibility but she can always offer assistance to the bride especially during the absence of the bride's mother.

To increase the happiness and the feeling of fulfillment of the Mother of the Groom, some rules of decorum are said to be the responsibilities of the Mother of the Groom.

• The Mother of the Groom must start the ball rolling by initiating contact between her and the bride's family. Introductions between families should be as simple as an informal invitation to dinner at their home or to a nice restaurant. This may be done with or without the presence of the bride and groom.
• If they live far away, a friendly letter with a picture of the family would suffice. A kind gesture would be to include a snapshot of her son as a child.
• It is also the Mother of the Groom's duty to provide the guest lists the soonest possible time with the correct number of guests she was instructed to invite.
• It is the Mother of the Bride who shall be the first one to select what she will wear on the wedding then the Mother of the Groom may select her own gown. As much as possible, her chosen gown should compliment that of the bride's mother in terms of color and style. She should avoid a dress that matches the dresses of the bridesmaids nor that of the bride's mother rather compliment both.
• Accommodation reservations during the wedding for both her family and out-of-town guests of the groom's family also fall in her list of duties.
• Rehearsal dinner hosting should be shouldered by the groom's family.
• During the wedding ceremony, the Mother of the Groom is accompanied down the aisle usually by the groom while the Father of the Groom follows behind. The groom's parents are seated on the first pew, right hand side.
• Also during the ceremony, the Mother of the Groom and the Mother of the Bride light the family candle on the altar before the entrance of the bridal party.
• At the reception party following the wedding ceremony, the Mother of the Groom stands in the receiving line to greet guests and introduces her relatives and friends to the bride's family.

This may not be the general rule to be followed. But you can expect these duties or initiatives from the mother of the groom.
