Stumped by a Wedding Reception Clue? Find the Answer Here!

Lena was ecstatic! Her best friend’s wedding was just around the corner. As the maid of honor, she volunteered to help with the decorations and other arrangements. After all, she wanted nothing but the best for her dear friend. While she was busy tying ribbons and arranging flowers, she overheard two of the guests puzzling over the crossword. One clue stumped them, and she couldn’t help but peek over their shoulders to see what the question was.

“Where newlyweds are typically seated at a wedding reception,” one of them read out loud. They murmured guesses to each other but couldn’t seem to come up with the answer. That’s when Lena stepped in. “I think it’s the ‘HEAD TABLE,'” she said confidently.

“How do you know that?” they asked in unison.

Lena’s eyes twinkled as she began to recount the story. “So, the HEAD TABLE is where the newlyweds sit during their wedding reception, according to tradition. In ancient times, the bride and groom would sit with their families at the front of the room, and the other guests would sit facing them. The goal was to honor the couple and show respect to their families.”

“Wow, I never knew that,” one of the guests exclaimed.

Lena smiled. She’s always loved learning about different customs and beliefs, and she’s glad she could share her knowledge with others. Now, she’s even more excited to attend her friend’s wedding and see the HEAD TABLE decorated with flowers and ribbons – a symbol of the happy couple’s union and the warmth of their closest friends and family.
