Per general etiquette, the mother of the bride buys her wedding day outfit first, then notifies the mother of the groom about the color, length and overall formality of her choice. But if the groom's mom doesn't get word by the four-month mark, she should touch base with the bride-to-be about what to do.
Genetics. The two main types of hemophilia are caused by gene mutations that affect the levels of clotting factors in the blood. Mutation of the FVIII gene leads to hemophilia A, also called classic hemophilia, while a mutations in the FIX gene leads to hemophilia B, also called Christmas disease.
Hemophilia A and hemophilia B are inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. The genes associated with these conditions are located on the X chromosome, which is one of the two sex chromosomes. In males (who have only one X chromosome), one altered copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the condition. In females (who have two X chromosomes), a mutation would have to occur in both copies of the gene to cause the disorder. Because it is unlikely that females will have two altered copies of this gene, it is very rare for females to have hemophilia.
