An usher is part of the larger wedding group, but not part of the ceremony. It's typically a job assigned to men who are close friends when the wedding party isn't large enough to accommodate everyone. Ushers seat guests, hand out programs, assist with parking, manage gifts and help with general logistics the day of the wedding, relieving the families of the bride and groom of much of the running around on the wedding day.
Calculate the Number of Wedding Guests
One of the largest expenses a bride and groom have at their wedding is the food served at the reception. For this reason, it's important to have a good estimate of the number of guests who will attend; it is also helpful when purchasing wedding favors and ordering the cake. Sending RSVP cards and calling those who do not reply are often the best way to know how many guests will attend. But there are other ways to calculate the number of wedding guests to expect.

Wear an Irish Wedding Ring
An Irish wedding ring is called a claddagh ring. It has a rich history steeped in legend, but the tradition goes that it was first made by a man from Galway who gave it to his bride after she had loyally waited for his return from sea. The ring is made of a two hands holding a heart with a crown. Together they symbolize the saying "love, loyalty, friendship." The hands portray trust and faith, the heart love, the crown loyalty and the hope of future glory. Still a meaningful symbol today, the way you wear it shows your relationship status.
