In Brazil weddings are usually at night, bride wears a white gown, there are several "padrinhos" (like godparents) on each side (bride's and groom's), there's a flower girl, the wedding band is a plain band and normally the wedding is paid for by the bride's parents. Nowadays this tradition is falling away and the couples are paying for the wedding themselves.
The weddings usually take place at a big church and the bride and groom invite a lot of people. Only a few selected get invited to the reception afterwards.
