A model essay on the cultural differences between Chinese and western weddings

Western weddings are very romantic, and the whole wedding is full of romance from beginning to end. The bride's dress is usually white and the groom's dress is black, which makes the whole wedding look solemn. Going to church for the wedding ceremony is the most important part of the whole wedding. First of all, with the rhythm of the wedding March, the bride took her father's hand to the groom, and his father gave her to the groom. The priest will ask the bride and groom to make a lifelong commitment to each other, which is also the climax of the whole wedding. Then they will exchange wedding rings and kiss each other with the blessing of the priest and everyone. At the end of the wedding, the bride will throw it to the female guests present. Whoever receives the bouquet is the next person to get married, which makes the whole wedding end in laughter. 2. Many customs when westerners get married are familiar to everyone, and the wedding scene is lively, beautiful and romantic. Due to the continuous opening up of China and the cultural exchanges between the East and the West, many aspects of Chinese wedding customs have also been influenced by it, such as wearing wedding dresses and diamond rings, which have become an indispensable part of urban weddings. However, its origin and symbolic significance are not clear to everyone. Here is a brief introduction to the origin and meaning of some western wedding supplies and nouns. 3. For example, France, which is famous for its romance, is called white marriage, and white is the color of romantic French weddings; In the Philippines, guests attending the ceremony will take turns dancing with the groom and pin money on their clothes. Sometimes, relatives and friends of both sides will compete in the back to see who gets more money. South Korea's wedding dress is also quite distinctive, which is worth mentioning-"two points", the bride and groom in South Korea will wear big dresses, and the bride's wedding dress is a colorful silk dress with long sleeves and a black silk crown. I think this is similar to the Arab wedding dress, because the Arab bride will wear gorgeous Turkish long-sleeved robes, but the difference is that according to the custom, the bride who sees the ceremony will cry for the bride's marriage, so the Arab wedding is also called ". 4. Western wedding customs are romantic, and weddings focus on ceremony rather than ostentation and extravagance. Prenuptial etiquette is not that complicated. Everything is done in a relaxed atmosphere. Marriage in western countries is also a unique way in all countries. French white is the main color of the wedding. Whether it's decorative flowers or a bride's dress. It can be seen that the marriage in the eyes of the French should be pure and flawless, and the cups used by couples also have a specific name, named "Coupdemarriage", which means "wedding cup". The "madness" of Germans is different from the lofty reason and calmness of Germans. Their wedding is even crazier. Germans hold parties at weddings, and the couple will be teased. This is similar to China's "Making a Wedding Room". The first program is to break the plate into pieces happily ... Perhaps the highlight that the West brings to the orientals is to teach the respondents: anonymity, first of all, about the traditional wedding ceremony. There are three traditional wedding customs in China: six rites, three worships and nine knocks. The so-called "three books" refer to the letter of appointment, the letter of gift and the letter of welcoming relatives. Letter of appointment for formal engagement between men and women.
