In thetraditional Filipina Wedding the groom is expected to burden allof the cost as opposed to American traditions were it is theBride's family that is responsible for wedding expenses. Ascustomary with Filipinas she will be wearing her wedding ring onthe right hand and not the left as here in the United States.For the Filipina, the Bible has stated "the Son sits at theright hand of the Father". So she will sit on the left and wearher ring on the right. This tradition completely blindsided meas I had already presented my fiancé' with a beautifulengagement set and placed it on her left ring finger. You willalso find some Filipino superstitions associated with WeddingCeremonies and Newlywed couples. The Bride
will not wear herWedding Dress before the ceremony or it will bring bad luck.Also if a bride wants her husband to agree to her every whim shewill step on his foot on the way to the altar.
