1 Where do couples get married?2 What do the groom and bride wear?3 What happens during the ceremony?4 What happens at the reception?5 What kind of presents do the guests give?6 Are there any interesting customs?

At a traditional wedding in the UK, the couple get married in a church. The groom wears a smart suit. The bride wears a long, white dress and she carries a bouquet. She often arrives a little late for the ceremony. During the ceremony, the bride and groom make promises and give each other wedding rings. After the ceremony, the guests throw confetti (small pieces of coloured paper) over the new husband and wife. The bride sometimes throws her bouquet over her shoulder. People say the woman who catches it is the next one to get married. At the reception, some relatives and friends each make a speech. They say nice things about the couple and tell funny stories about them! The guests eat, drink, chat and dance. They also give the bride and groom presents – usually things for their new house.

Life in Ireland in 1889 was hard for Annie Moore and her family. They were poor and it was difficult for her parents to earn enough money for food and clothes. In the end, Annie’s parents made a difficult decision. They left their children in Ireland and moved to America to make a new life for their family.Two years later, fourteen-year-old Annie and her two younger brothers, Anthony and Phillip, made the long journey to New York to join their parents. They left Queenstown in County Cork on 20 December 1891 onboard a ship called the S.S. Nevada. The journey wasn’t easy. The ship was very crowded and cold and many people got seasick.Fortunately, twelve days later, on 31 December, the S.S. Nevada arrived safely in New York Bay. When Ellis Island opened for the first time on 1 January 1892, Annie Moore was the first passenger registered at the new immigration station. To celebrate the important occasion, American officials gave Annie a $10 gold coin and welcomed her warmly to the United States.
