They are alot of articles about where the phrase ladies first originated from but the most common used one is it originated from the Victorian times,An article by Alice Walker tells what inspired it, "It is because, in the early days, if we were permitted to walk behind the man, we would run away. If we were kept in front, they could keep an eye on us."

Because it is a woman that marries the man not the other way round. Women are the ones who are officially being asked to be married to a man.When a woman consents,it is assumed that she is the one who married the man.

I was told that since we guys propose and the ladies accept us they are the ones marrying us not we them. It is logical in that sense because if she doesn't accept our proposal then there would be no wedding

It's common courtesy. The woman is the one committing herself to a lifetime of doom by putting herself under another man's name. The least she can do is have her name first on the IV. She is the one giving up her individuality.

Its etiquette, on anything that is not an official document, that is something social the women's name should always go first, whether it be a wedding invite , a birthday party invitation or an announcement in the newspaper. However if it is a legal document, say a mortgage or loan agreement the mans name will always go first.

It just anglo etiquette which we have 'inherited' form Britain.
