Is it okay to stand the opposite way at the altar?

I know the bride is meant to stand on the left in our culture (and opposite in Jewish ceremonies), but can I stand on the right?

Do Aussie couples usually have ushers?

We don't have a bridal party but want to honour our close friends by asking them to have official roles on the day, like ushers, and doing a reading and things like that.

I want to have a joint hens and bucks. And ideas on where to hold it and what to do?

The groom and his mates will be going to a zombie vr/escape room during the day, while I get pampered. Then we want to meet up and party! It has to be on a wednesday though, as that's when our overseas bridal party members will be arriving. Any ideas?

Is it appropriate to ask my Grandmother to bake something for the dessert table?

She's an amazing baker and I think she would be happy to, but is it appropriate to have some home made stuff? Do venues care about that kind of thing? It would likely be biscuits/individual sweets like rum balls.

Is it rude or unacceptable to only serve a main and wedding cake?

After quite a few issues with our first venue, we found a second venue that we love. Unfortunately they aren't able to cater to the late ceremony schedule we originally wanted. They have offered the solution of serving extra canapes before the ceremony but skipping the entree entirely so that the dining finishes within their time frame. Our guests will still get a choice of 2 mains and wedding cake for dessert with a fruit platter and cheese, but I don't know if it is rude not to have an entree. It feels weird to me to not serve an entree. Thank you.
