A Chinese Wedding


Chinese wedding is very national.


Certainly, Chinese special ceremony and Chinese clothing, foods and music play a big role.


For example, in Chinese wedding, red is the main color because red represents good luck in Chinese tradition. The bride often wears a red dress and the top still has a piece of red silk kerchief. The groom often wears a red long jacket and a hat with a red flower.


The wedding ceremony has a fixed formula. The first is make three bows. The groom and the bride have to make a deep bow to the sky and the earth. The second bow is to their parents.

And the last bow is the bride and the groom bow to each other.


Then the festivities begin. All guests can taste the delicious foods by the Chinese national music.


After the ceremony, the husband and his wife are sent into the nuptial chamber. Making the nuptial chamber is the high point of the wedding. The couple must play some games with their families and friends. A national wedding is end in a mirthful laugh.


All in all, a Chinese wedding has national characteristics and is different from wedding in the west.
