Finace - not a word
pole - a long (usually round) rod of wood or metal that some women use for dancing
LOVE THIS! This could go on forever. It should be posted on each and every board - a group or associations of persons, bored - to weary with tedious dullness. (I couldn't resist.)

BM - Bridesmaid
BM - bowel movement (typically not associated with weddings)
STD - save the dates
STD - what handfast used to chase people for ( typically not associated with weddings)
ur - not a word
ARGH. And you guys beat me to the punch about the Pole/Poll one. Dang.
And specifically for the "Ceremony Ideas" board: Unity ceremony: is the wedding itself. No need for a Unity Candle, a wine ceremony, a sand ceremony, a planting ceremony. You'll still be married if you have none of those things.
And for the Customs and Traditions board: Jumping the Broom: the ancient ceremony (pre-Christian) when the couple steps or hops over a broom. Although this has been adopted in the African American culture, it dates from before that.
Handfasting: One of the original wedding ceremonies, pre-christian. Short for Handfastening, in which the couples hands are tied together. Traditionally done by Pagan couples, but incorporated into other faiths, most often when the couple has Celtic ancestry.
Go. Go. Go. *\o/*

?? I don't get this??
We're: the contraction of we are. We're headed down to city hall to get married, then complain later that we didn't get our pretty pretty princess day. Then we're going get aggravated at the ladies on the SW board when they call our "real wedding" a vow renewal, even though it's 7 months after the legal weddding, and the only reason why we ran off to city hall was because we're impatient children.
Also, see run on sentence. :-)
vale - A wide river valley
veil - an article of clothing worm almost exclusively by women to cover part of their head - is wedding veil.
vial - small stoppered bottle or tube
vile - extremely unpleasant, morally bad, wicked
It's tulle, not tool or toole.
To elaborate on the jumping of the broom a bit(I love the highlighted part):
Jumping over the broom symbolized various things depending on the culture. In the American south, the custom determined who ran the household. Whoever jumped highest over the broom was the decision maker of the household. The jumping of the broom does not constitute taking a "leap of faith" because the practice of jumping the broom pre-dates the phrase coined by Søren Aabye Kierkegaard by one hundred years, if not more. Among southern Africans, who were largely not a part of the Atlantic slave trade, it represented the wife's commitment or willingness to clean the courtyard of the new home she had joined.[11] In England, jumping over the broom (or sometimes walking over a broom), became nominally synonymous (i.e. "Married over the besom") with irregular or non-church unions.[16]
Enjoy!
