China Rural Wedding | 4K HDR | The Chinese Village Life You Never Seen | 湖南衡阳 | 小镇婚礼

If you're coming to China to attend a wedding, you'll be surprised by the differences in tradition. Due to China's size and many different ethnic minorities, not all weddings will be the same. Traditions vary depending on where you are. ------------------------------ ★★ Vows ★★ ------------------------------ Chinese weddings are not the place where vows take place, as this is done at a local government office beforehand when the paperwork is signed. Therefore if you attend a Chinese wedding you will not be watching the legalization of the marriage, but just be attending the celebration of the union between two people, generally through many courses of delicious food. Chinese wedding invitations are usually presented in a long red envelope, similar to the traditional hongbao in which money is gifted to people at weddings, during Chinese New Year, etc. ------------------------------ ★★ Photographs ★★ ------------------------------ These days the couple usually will have an elaborate wedding album prepared before their wedding, with pictures taken around the city, often at popular tourist sights — the more romantic and pretty the better. The wedding album, however, will not usually contain pictures of the actual ceremony. Wedding photos are taken in advance, so they can be on display at the wedding breakfast. If you visit China during spring, summer or fall you might see couples having these professional pictures taken. Most like Western-style outfits and surroundings, but being as they tend to have several different outfits and settings, they can choose traditional and modern, fun and formal. It is a great idea as it takes the pressure off on the day, and everyone can see the photos as they decorate the wedding venue. ------------------------------ ★★ Pre-Wedding Activities ★★ ------------------------------ Before a Chinese wedding celebration, the groom will often go to the bride's house to collect her. However, the bride will be surrounded by a few of her girlfriends, who will tease the groom before handing over the bride. The girls will have to be bribed or convinced by the groom with pretends or envelopes with money before they will hand over their friend, the bride. Then, the bride and groom will bow to the bride's parents before taking her to the groom's house. ------------------------------ ★★ Colors ★★ ------------------------------ Traditionally, Chinese weddings are very different from Western weddings even just in terms of colors. Red plays a vital role in Chinese weddings, because this color is associated with success, loyalty, honor, fertility, and love, amongst others. Because of this, decorations at Chinese weddings are generally in red, and so is the bride's dress. Gold is also commonly used, as it portrays wealth and fortune. White, is commonly associated with funerals in old tradition , so not often used. Dark colors, such as black, gray, and dark blue, are also best avoided. However, western-style wedding has become mainstream for recent years and all colors are acceptable.

However, it is becoming increasingly common to wear a white Western-style wedding dress. This is especially the case when the bride wears more than one dress, as happens in many weddings. In that case the bride will wear a red qipao, a Western-style wedding dress, and a ballgown. The ceremony will start in one dress, and after the first three courses the bride will change into the next dress. Then again, after another three courses, the last wedding dress will come out. Guests can wear any formal attire in accordance with the bride and the bridegroom. ------------------------------ ★★ Guys, I'm looking forward to know how you feel about the video.★★ ------------------------------ ★★ City Walking Tours ★★    • Chinese Food Street | MUSEUM OF BROKE...   If you enjoy my videos, please ★SUBSCRIBE★ my next walk,    / @walkeast   Love and peace. ------------------------------ #Wedding
