In ancient China, the brides took a sedan to
the grooms place, and they were all dressed in
red. The ceremony master would usually say
Pay respect to heaven and earth. Bow to your
parents. New couples bow to each other. And
then, Send to the new bedroom.

There is something that Chinese brides have
to do. It is important that, just like the
western culture, brides and brooms change the
rings!!!

There is some saying about the ancient
Chinese wedding that at the first night after
they got married, when the new couple took off
their clothes, if the bride put her clothes on
the brooms, the husband would be loyal to the
wife and listen to his wife forever.

I didnt know what a foreign wedding was
like until I read this article. I thought
only the Chinese wedding has lots of symbols, but
it seemed that the western wedding has as much as
Chinese.
