Wedding is troublesome in the first place...then why get married? The process is stressful but also memoriable. Once in a life time experience (at least most ppl would aim for that way).
I wonder how many people still follow "MOST" of those traditional??
I think most people still do the "TEA" section. (give tea to parents) but most parents dont like it .. my wife and I didn't give "TEA" to my parents .. they refused .. so we only did that to my wife's parents and her grand mom.
Some people are still old school, I remember my ex gf's sister, when she got married, TONS of weird stuffs needed to be done ... something like coconut on bed .. find a good life woman to comb hair .... etc ... But it was like 13 yr ago, I dont think people still do that anymore la.
May be still some people follow those 婚姻習俗 in Hong Kong or Taiwan ?
I can accept those traditional dress on bride .. but not on groom la..
I had two weddings, one in Malaysia and another one in Taiwan. The one I had in Taiwan was pretty simple. I just had a wedding banquet. My wife and I walked in to the room and in the middle of the banquet, we went to each table to do the "thank wine". Before the banquet ended, we had to stand in the exist to thank each of them for coming. The banquet was mainly for my parent's family and friends because I did not have many friends in Taiwan.
For the wedding in Malaysia, I followed some of the Malaysian Chinese traditions.
I don't think I will follow Chinese tradition 100% la... because me and my bf gonna paid down payment + wedding on our own without using both side parents $... so we cannot afford to hold a so called complete wedding lor..
