In Chinese customs, red is the main color for weddings. It is used in different ways as it signifies love, joy and happiness. The bride's wedding gown(女礼服)is often red, the wedding invitations, gift boxes and envelopes are red and the bride and the groom's homes are decorated in red on the wedding day.
Before the wedding, the married couples from the groom's family visit the bride's place with gifts in red baskets and boxes. One of those baskets has milk honey. Three days before the wedding, the women from the bride's family bring return-gifts to the groom's family.
On the wedding day, the groom arrives at the bride's place on his way to the chapel(佛堂). The groom has to give gifts in cash wrapped in red paper to the bride's friends for letting her go. The bride and the groom then leave for the chapel together.
The wedding ceremony is attended only by the couple's immediate relatives. Just after the wedding ceremony, the bride serves tea to her parents in-laws as a tradition. The couples will then go to get wedding pictures. Then a reception(宴会)will follow.
In the reception, a welcome speech is followed by a cake cutting ceremony. A Chinese wedding cake has many layers(层), and each one represents a step to success for the newly married couples. So couples cut the cake from the bottom.
Travour.com describes and provides information on the wedding traditions of the Chinese and around the world. Below are some wedding traditions performed in Italy.

EXCURSION DETAILS $109.99 / Adult (ages 13 and over) $79.99 / Child (ages 8 - 12) Prices may vary with seasons This adventure begins with a motorcoach ride along the Klondike Highway, paralleling the route used by the explorers during the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush. You'll ascend to the 3,290-foot Klondike Summit, where you can photograph majestic mountains and waterfalls.
Your ride continues as you travel north to the famous Yukon Suspension Bridge. Feel the thrilling sensation of a swaying walkway 65 feet above the churning rapids of the Tutshi River. Finally walk through the museum-quality displays demonstrating the area's unique history. By now you've worked up an appetite, and the hearty salmon buffet at the Liarsville Trail Camp is sure to tame even the hungriest beast. Savor wild Alaskan salmon grilled over an open alder wood fire, a variety of salads, cornbread and dessert. After your meal, you may return or be dropped off in Skagway for shopping. Guest Reviews (4) Palp from Vancouver ★★★☆☆ Great one hour stop at the Suspension Bridge. The salmon bake in Liarsville was the best part! It was a buffet of UNLIMITED salmon that was being freshly cooked over an open fire. Overall good excursion, just a little too expensive for what it is. Dragon from Los Angles ★★★★☆ Did this on May 1, 2019. Our guide, Glenn, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, keeping us entertained all the way by making jokes and explaining the history of the landmarks. There were only 12 people, so we all had window seats!! The views were GREAT! Took lots of pics. Plutocrat from Edmonton ★★★★★ Enjoyed the drive, enjoyed the fees and enjoyed Liarsville, where the food was AMAZING. Can't believe how much we enjoyed walking across the suspension bridge. Rod from Regina★★☆☆☆ "To the Summit" gives the impression you are going to the big summit. This was not the case. The summit in question was just a small hill. The views at the suspension bridge are ok but not incredible. The lunch at Liarsville was not bad, though, and that stop was best of the day. |
