My husband and I went to a wedding last weekend. It was a cross-cultural wedding – Chinese and American. First a traditional Chinese ceremony, complete with Chinese wedding attire, was performed. This was interesting even though I couldn’t understand any of it. After the Chinese wedding ceremony was complete, then the couple quickly changed clothes while the guests were treated to some Chinese music, followed by “Here Comes the Bride” as the bride came down the church aisle once again.
Thirty minutes later, the Catholic wedding ceremony was finished and they were pronounced man and wife. Overall, it was nice (albeit long) that they incorporated the wedding ceremonies from both families.
The wedding reception hall was decorated in red and gold, traditional Chinese wedding colors, and the food was trendy, hip Chinese cuisine with a lot of American influence.
For wedding favors, each guest received a Chinese take out box that was filled with little goodies.
