My Experience
With Chinese Tradition Marriage
Bring up the topic about marriage within the couple's family
parents meeting together talking about the requirements of marriage
What day does the bride move into the groom family? When they are talking about what days, they want to choose the luckiest day of the month, for the best luck to come for their for future. As followed the Chinese tradition, the Chinese character (囍) must be taped everywhere in the house, to symbolize having double the happiness after you are married.
For both sets of parents getting along
The day of the marriage
The door games could be really silly, and also crazy. Once the groom and the groom maids passed all the games that the bride maids has prepared, the groom can see the bride.
The groom and the bride continued with the tea ceremony, meant those newlyweds, needs to kneel down and serve tea to the elderly who sits in front of them. This action is considered as respect for elderly, and the confirmation for the newlyweds, they either receive red pocket money or golden bracelet, as a wedding gift.
Then the day continued as it was planned, gone to the church, then to dinner.
These are some of the highlights of Chinese traditions that occurred during the wedding.
