The Groom stands on the right of the Bride, deriving from the days of swords - should any man challenge him to his right to his Bride, the Groom was free to draw his sword with his right hand whilst protecting or holding his Bride with his left.
Civil Ceremonies can take place either in a Registry Office or any approved venue. Law dictates that any music and readings you choose must not contain any religious content. You could have your wedding reception in the same venue as your wedding!
