5. Traditional Western Wedding 1.Before the Wedding Ceremony The bridegroom is not supposed to see the bride on the day of the wedding until they meet in church as this is considered to be bad luck. The bridegroom arrives at the church first and waits inside ,near the altar with the best man. The families of the bride and bridegroom, and the wedding guests ,sit in rows in the church. Just before the wedding ceremony begins, the bride arrives at the church in a car with her father. It is usually an expensive car , such as a Rolls Royce or a limousine, hired for the occasion and decorated with ribbons. There are often jokes made about the bride arriving late at the church. Next

6. 2.The Ceremony • It is the custom for the bride’s father go “give her away”(officially to “to give her to the bridegroom”). The bride and her father walk slowly up the aisle of the church, with the bridesmaids. People sometimes talk about “walking up the aisle” when they mean “getting married”. When the bride and bridegroom are together at the altar, the priest or minister begins the wedding service. • The words that are said during the wedding service are well known to most people. During the service, the bridegroom gives the bride a wedding ring (a plain gold ring ) and says “With this ring I there wed” (“with this ring I marry you”). • Sometimes the bride also gives a ring to the bridegroom. The priest or minister asks the bride and bridegroom in turn:“Will you have this man/woman to be your wedded husband/wife?”The bride and bridegroom each say“I will”. At the end of the ceremony, the priest or minister says: “I pronounce you man and wife”, which means that they are officially married . The bride and bridegroom then sign the register(a special book which is the official record of their marriage).

7. 3.After the Ceremony Outside the church, the friends of the bride and bridegroom throw confetti (small pieces of colored paper) or rice over them. Photographs are usually taken of the bride and bridegroom and their families and friends. #Differences:Americans will hold it in a church, while Chinese will hold it in a hotel inviting their relatives and friends to have dinner----their marriage notion has quite a lot of differences, too.

10. Chinese and Western dining culture Chopsticks are used for all meals in China. Food is placed at the center of the table and may include more than one type of main dish to be eaten with rice. All the food will be shared by all the persons and won’t be divided into several helps. While in America, they would use forks and knives for their meals. Every person has his own dishes and they won’t share one dish together. They think this is quite hygienic and they will enjoy their meals comfortably. However, what they eat is not so healthy, because they would like to eat a lot of meat and something with high calorie. Maybe it is good for them to obtain more fibers and keep a healthy body. Next
