Why The Bride Stands On The Left

During the marriage ceremony, the bride stands on the left and the groom on the right. The origin of this goes back to the days when a groom would capture his bride by kidnapping her.

If the groom had to fight off other men who also wanted her as their bride, he would hold his bride-to-be with his left hand allowing his right hand to be free to use his sword.

or

The bride stands on the left of the groom because she was created out of his left rib.

USA Military

Remember that a bride stands to the right of her groom. (In a civilian weddings she stands at his left).
