A general view of a table at a wedding reception. The table is beautifully arranged with some flowers, and you can see all the place settings and wine glasses ready for the bride, groom and their guests. Marriage is a socially sanctioned union that reproduces the family. In all societies the choice of partners is generally guided by rules of exogamy (the obligation to marry outside a group).
