They don't have to have any relationship. It would be healthy for them to get along seeing their children are getting married and they will most likely be sharing grandchildren.
They are NOT related.
Presumably, no closer than first cousin.
No, the bride and groom dance first as man and wife. After that the bride dances with her father (this can be separate and only the father and daughter dance together ... a suggestion for a wonderful song is 'Butterfly Kisses' and pretty much states the relationship between father and daughter) then comes the dance with the father-in-law and the groom dances with his mother and mother-in-law as other guests join in.
!
The wedding surrounds the bride and groom and neither have too many responsibilities with the exception of: * The bride and groom have the first dance together * The bride should dance with her father first, then her father-in-law or any male representing the groom in place of the groom's father. * Mingling with the guests and thanking them for coming.
the bride and the groom is first, then the bride and her father, and then the groom and his mother. After that the bride dance with her new dad and groom dance with his new mom.
If the father of the bride give the groom a large sum of money; a place in the father's business or land it is called a 'dowry.'
The Bride and Groom have the first dance. Then the Maid of Honor will dance with the Best Man. the Bridesmaids with the Ushers and the Flower Girl and Ring Bearer (if there is one) dance together. After that the father usually will have a dance with his daughter, and the mother of the Bride will dance with the groom. Then the Father-in-law dances with the bride and the mother-in-law dances with her son.Bride & Groom dance (alone)Parents will dance with the Bride and Groom and at this time the Maid of Honor, Best Man, Bridesmaids and Ushers will join in and guests are welcome to join them after that.If requested, the daughter may want one dance with her father.
The father of the bride and groom can give the wedding gift to them the day of the wedding at home or, they can leave the gift on the gift table at the wedding reception. However, if it is of cash value it is better to give the bride and groom the money before the wedding.

There is no real prohibition, though it is traditional for the bride to dance with the groom first.
The groom and the bride's fathers can both wear a tux. It would be okay for the groom's father to wear a nice suit because he would not be the one walking the bride down the isle.
It should be the bride that decides the color of the groom; best man; ushers and father's attire. If the groom, best man and ushers are wearing darker suits then the father should as well. No one should be in complete white other than the bride unless the bride decides she wants to be a little different. Although most whites seem white they are not and the bride should be the focal point and not the father.
there are many ways that you could put this. i agree on bride to groom if they were the only choices. the only reason that i say this is because the brides father has to give the bride away to the groom. so i would say bride to groom but other than if there was maybe another choice it would be bride and groom.
