A Chinese wedding is a very special occasion filled with bright red color everywhere--tablecloths, favors, dresses, ribbons and more. That's because red represents happiness and prosperity.
The morning of the wedding day is filled with many activities. The homes are elaborately decorated in--you guessed it--red! The Groom and Ushers drive decorated cars to the Bride's home so they can escort the Bride to her new home. When the Groom and Ushers arrive, the Bridesmaids greet them and ask the Groom a series of sometimes-personal questions before being invited into the Bride's home. Once in the house, the Bride and Groom formally serve tea to the Bride's relatives in return for gifts. The wedding party and the bride and groom then drive to the Groom's home. The Bride and Groom formally serve tea to the Groom's parents in return for gifts.
The traditional Chinese ceremony involves mostly close relatives and friends and is not a high-profile event. It includes worshipping the heavens, the earth and the groom's ancestors. The reception is the highlight of the Chinese wedding where the feast is considered highly symbolic. The Chinese Bride and Groom must be on their toes at all times throughout the reception. The wedding party plays many "tricks" on the couple--again just for fun!
Additional Chinese traditions are practiced today. Some include composing The Three Letters and the Six Etiquette's, arranging for a good fortune person to comb the Bride and Groom's hair, and preparing red silk sheets on the bridal bed
A Wild West theme wedding is guaranteed to be a kick in the pants. Invitations can look like they were delivered by pony express. The ceremony is usually quite short--but not lacking spirtually--and is surrounded by the beauty of the majestic mountains and the open prairie. After the ceremony, when shadows start to fade and coyote' howling is heard at a distance, a mighty fire is lit.
Soon the guests gravitate towards the aroma of BBQ beef and pork ribs, corn-on-the-cob, baked beans and other fine fixin's. Once the champagne is flowing and the country band gets on stage, it's time to grab your partner and start some good ol' fashioned square dancing, followed by bluegrass and folk music.
A Wild West wedding can be as creative as seen on a Roy Rogers or John Wayne movie or the TV series Little House on the Prairie. Let your guests spit in the fire, clap their hands, and kick up some dirt. In no time they will be wondered what happened to the bride and groom. If they look yonder, they might catch the newlywed's silhouette on the hay wagon trotting down the winding road.
By studying the differences between Chinese and Western wedding, and I understand their characteristics: the West is pure romantic wedding, and China's wedding was beaming;Wedding stress is placed on the Western sense, and China is valued ceremony.In the West because of their customs are different, it formed a wedding customs have their own characteristics.Although with different customs, but no matter where the wedding is full of blessings and laughter.
