- 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. Read more about lucky and unlucky colors.
------------------------------
★★ Dresses ★★
------------------------------
At most Chinese weddings, the bride will wear a traditional Chinese qipao dress.
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.

#Wedding
The lyrics of the groom's song (22:35) in noon wedding banquet
Lyrics/Music: The Bridegroom Himself
---------------------------------------------------------------
Don't remember which year
We met in Taiping
Left contact information
No more contact
After so many years
There is no connection between you and me
All the joys and worries of us had no connection too
Oh my darling
I thought we would never meet again
Without you
How should my life continue
Hey my darling
I didn't expect we were finally together
Because of you
How sweet my life is
This winter of the epidemic time
Reunion on your birthday
The singer Wu Bai sings < Wanna See You>
and then we are together
I remember the Valentine day
The moment when we hold hands
The whole world stops
Only me and you
Oh my darling
I thought we would never meet again
Without you
How should my life continue
Hey, my darling
How lucky we are finally together
Because of you
How sweet my life is
On someday many years later
I will play the guitar quietly
To you and our kids
Singing the stories of us
Yes, our stories, these are our stories
Original Chinese Version:
《我们的故事》
词／曲：新郎本人
不记得在哪一年
我们相识在太平里
留下了联系方式
没有再联系
从此以后的这么多年
你我之间都没关联
所有开心与烦恼
全都没关系
哦，我的亲爱的
我以为我们不会再相遇
若是没有你
生活该怎么继续
嘿，我的亲爱的
没想到我们终于在一起
因为有了你
生活多么的甜蜜
这个疫情的冬天
重逢在你生日那天
伍佰唱着想见你
我们在一起
白色情人节那天
我们牵手的那瞬间
整个世界都停止
只剩我和你
哦，我的亲爱的
我以为我们不会再相遇
若是没有你
生活该怎么继续
嘿，我的亲爱的
多幸运我们终于在一起
因为有了你
生活多么的甜蜜
多年以后的某一天
我会静静地弹着琴
对着你和孩子们
唱着，我们的故事
这是，我们的故事
太棒了！
The groom wrote the song and played it - very cool.
🆒
@@daniellee6859 感谢！
@@bernardsusanto4541 Thanks for your kind words to the groom!
Lots of HEALTH , happiness, and good fortune to the young couple. ( From Ireland). Chinese people sure know how to touch your heart. I can't wait for my next visit to China.
Thanks for your heart-touching words too, dear Irish friend.
You're 100% welcome to China!
Happy new year!
I love this video. China is like a diferent world for me. I like to see this life style, diferent to Latin America. Sorry for My English. Great channel!!!
I can totally understand your English. Thank you, buddy!
Happy new year!
De que país eres?
One day u can come to China for fun, I am a Chinese，and China is very very very large， u can any people style in China
@@julioduan7130 Argentina
I can understand your english
I absolutely love these rural wedding videos. It's so nice to see the beautiful couple and all the families and guests having a wonderful time.
What's not to love about China? I remember very well the moment when my interest in China turned into a strong attraction. It is while walking in a park in Suzhou 苏州 市, the elderlys who played games with friends, the cleanliness of the place and the city, nothing broken by vandals and this sidewalk that never ends made of small stones from rivers placed so as to massage the feet if desired. I said to myself, that these peoples are not like elsewhere and deserve my interest. From Canada
Thanks for your great sharing, dear Canadian friend!
Very warmhearted words, indeed..
Love the simplicity of the wedding it was a nice experience to see a Chinese wedding 👍
Thank you very much, my old friend. The simplicity is really amazing. I love it too.
This tugged at my heart! Beautiful wedding, I love the beginnings, bowing to each other, etc. Many, many blessings to the bride and groom. This is a good one, my friend! Love it! Thank you!
Your blessing are very warmhearted, dear friend, thank you for your sincere words.
I hope you have a happy and lucky 2021, dear friend!
@@WalkEast You too!
So far the best video, I can feel the joy and happiness. Strong and living culture distinguished it from other walking videos. Keep posting!!!! Thanks
So glad you can feel the joy and happiness. Some pure joy can surpass the language barrier.
Thank you, friend, thank you!
Chinese wedding was the most beautiful wedding of all coz the couple will share their long life wishes to all their relatives, neighbor,friends etc... Marriage were sacred to all Chinese and compare to other nations,many Chinese couple grow old together. Firecrackers was also a traditional way of congratulating the couple after the wedding. In the ancient times,there's also a lion dance before the wedding start to wish the new couple good luck
Yes, friend, you're quite right about the Chinese wedding!
Thanks for your great words!
Best wishes to you!
It is very interesting video.
I was always curious about rural china and their culture.
I never saw such a video before.
Love from India
Thank you very much, dear Indian friend!
China and India have lots of similar culture, my dear friend!
Have a great day!
@@WalkEast Here also brides usually wear red colours
In India too we wear red in weddings and red is the colour of auspiciousness and luck, alongwith yellow. Also sisters of the bride tease the groom in North India. Also going to the groom's home, fireworks, the cooking outside thing
This wedding is beautiful
Thanks for your great sharing of Indian wedding! I hope I could witness Indian wedding someday!
看到農村小鎮的婚禮特別開心！
愉快，愉快！
Wow wow wow what a surprise. Nice to see a traditional wedding celebration and congratulations to the couple 💐. Max keep surprising us with your content!
Thanks, dear friend. Your passionate words made my day. Thank you very very much!
Happy new year again!💐
Fun fact: the tradition of using Porsches as wedding vhelcals can be traced back to Qin Dynasty.
Laugh to choke.....😂
The Porsche used as a wedding vehicles during the Qin Dynasty did not have engine, it was powered by manpower - 4 manpower.

You're videos are great, I enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like them! You're welcome, buddy!
Beautiful video. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
Thanks for visiting
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video, finally this shows how the rural folks are adapting most of the overseas Chinese do, showing how they assimilate the practices of their host country. Your video and written narrative is very informative to this generation of overseas Chinese children and grandchildren. Stay well, you're wonderful! Thank you.
Thanks for all of your encouraging words, dear friend. You don't know how glad I read your warmhearted words.
Thank you very very much!
Happy new year!💐
Hi, Thank You, this my first Chinese wedding . lovely.
Wonderful!
This old style wedding in rural China is almost like the 60s in my home in Raub, Pahang, Malaysia. The traditions and similar cooking methods. It was a happy and noisy affair then. Now it had disappeared. This video is certainly very refreshing indeed
Thanks for your great sharing about the old tradition of wedding in Malaysia!
Great shraing!
wow this is really different! Thanks for sharing your culture with us
Thank you too, dear friend. Your kind words are best gift for me. Thanks.
This is actually very common in china for villagers. My family grew up in a village too and this is the type of wedding my dad knows lol i asked him to help with my weddings now and he doesn't know cause its too modern for him
Thank you for sharing; my husband and I loved this. Much luck to the bride and groom!
So nice of you! Much luck to you and your family too!🌸💐
Your videos never cease to amaze and enlighten me, my friend. Thank you very much to both you and the couple for sharing this wedding celebration. I hope they are very happy together!
Thank you very very much for your blessing words, dear friend!
May happiness always with you too!!

No problem, friend, so glad to see your words!
thank you for sharing this wedding with us! it was very interesting ! I really like the last barrier! (I often played this game😁)
Red is very important in China. I didn't know.
Thanks to you, the bride and groom have a beautiful souvenir video of their wedding!
I want to wish all the best of luck to the newlyweds! 😁
Thanks for sharing !
Merci 😁
So you must be very good at passing the barriers, bro.
Red is the most important color in China, and that's a long long tradition of China.
Thanks for your blessing words to the newlyweds, dear friend. The bride and the groom would love to read your caring words!
Best wishes to you!
This reminds me of my experience when I was a child at rural place of Hubei! Hubei's tradition is very close to Hunan. Thanks for your video.
Thanks for your great sharing!
Hubei is always the brother province of Hunan!
So beautiful 😍.
Congratulations to the beautiful couple.
Thank you so much!! Dear friend, have a nice day!
看看小镇婚俗，真棒！

Hope your life fill with happiness too, dear friend!
Thank you very much!
Same to you and Thank you bro 😍
This is good to see different tradition that is why i like making friend to the other side of the world to see new things. Thanks for sharing
I totally agree!
Wow, this is different from anything that I have ever seen on you-tube. Congratulations to the happy couple and it was so nice that you showed the village gathering for breakfast and then the fancy restaurant setting for lunch. I notice that the bride is the only one dressed in a beautiful traditional red wedding outfit and not the groom. In the West we usually have a quick lunch and the big celebratory meal is in the evening. I guess in China, this is moved earlier for morning and noon. I can't help but notice how nice the buildings look along the road and how many expensive cars there are in this small village. The Chinese peasants are pretty well off these days or maybe it is just this couple. Max, are the couple personal friends of yours? It was so nice that they allowed you to videotape their special day for your Walk East video to share with us. Once again, great work. I love this.
Yes, my dear friend, the couple are the personal friends of mine, and I drove 3 hours from Changsha to attend their wedding.
One of the cars in the fleet is mine.
I was helping the groom to collect the bride and prepared some blessing words for them and do some videotape job for them.
The couple in rural China have to follow the wedding rules of the local town to preparing morning banquet and do some ancestor worship activities.
It's also very interesting for me to watch a lovely wedding day like that.
The groom is not necessary to dress a traditional red dressing. He is so kind to let the bride to be the center of the wedding.
Because red color is the center color and he let the bride to be the red star alone, which showed his great love the the bride.
The morning wedding banquet is a special tradition in some rural places of China. I'm so exciting to be one of the guests.
Thanks for your great words, dear friend.
Have a great great day!♥💐
@@WalkEast It looked like everyone was having a good time with all the festivities. Thanks for sharing these specials moments.
@@HKChineseCanadian You're so welcome, my friend. I just shared the pure joy of these people online. So glad you have gotten some joy of it!
Great day!
@Justin Xie Thank you for your story. In the old days of arranged marriages, love comes after the wedding and people stayed together. Chinese people around the world are respected for their strong families. Hopefully this will continue to be the case in China today.
Thanks for sharing. Wedding in China is not easy and is a massive project.
Exactly, friend, not easy.
The groom only took a 3-hour sleeping before the wedding day...
Brilliant video.
Happy married life to the couple . We have few of these customs in South India where I come from . The way catering is setup , the greeting of the grooms party, fireworks on both sides, cooking outside the house , after party at grooms House etc .
Beautiful 😍
Dear Anu, thanks for your great words for this wedding, I'm 100% sure that my friend (the groom) would be very happy to read your words.
Thanks a lot, friend!💐🙏
Beautiful people, beautiful life event
You're beautiful too, thank you very much!
So beautiful! :) (and I like the guy's silver puffer jacket!)
Hahaha, he is a very kind guy!
this video was so cute :3 i love those weddings
this is really very interesting to see. thank you for sharing things like this. i like it friend.
Wish you have a super lucky 2021, dear Jecris! Happy!!
The practice of teasing the bridegroom is similar to what is practiced by the Chinese diaspora in Malaysia.
Haha, thanks for sharing this! So glad to know that!😃🙏
@@WalkEast just that it's tougher here in malaysia. Here the groom were sometimes forced to eat strange food.
@@teohjohnny That's tough...real tough...
Hope the strange food is healthy..
@@teohjohnny Funny for me to read that, as for me, most thai and asian foods look strange XD
@@franktrinidad142 I mean strange food like raw meat and bitter guard Juice.
Interesante amigo, aprecio su cultura y tradiciones
Gracias amigo, gracias!
Rural China! Awesome! ❤️
Thanks, friend, you're awesome too!💐🌻
Thanks
Welcome🍎
I went to Chinese wedding as well. It was in the early morning, so we wake up around 6AM to drive there. We went brides house and drive around town a bit behind them. By 12AM it was over. Food was really good and I could not stop eating. I knew groom and bride personally, but most people came just for eat and didn't pay any attention to the couple. This wedding looks smaller and more private. I think it is better with closer friends and relatives.
Your story is very interesting, thank you very much!
一开始的乡村镜头拍的很有感觉。
感谢支持！
跟我们老家镇上真是一模一样的👍👍
感谢分享，祝福你家老镇蓬勃兴旺！

@@WalkEast You're welcome
wow nice society gathering👍👍
Yes, friend, very nice!
Did you know any of them or just friends of friends ?
The brides Chinese wedding dress was amazing, so much embroidery work, very very pretty. The red outfits always look very smart and I prefer them.
The groom had balls of steel to play a guitar and sing to his wife something he had composed himself in front of the crowd, then throw in a little trouble maker to the mix to try play the guitar with him haha but it didn’t seem to phase him one bit, good man 👊
He looked cold at his place and more than she did, maybe nerves, was it a chilly day ? great day for it though as you said. Sun one side and moon the other with clear blue skies, I love it when it’s like that.
Cheers for sharing 👊
The groom is one of my best friends, and I drove 3 hours from Changsha to this town to help him to collect the bride and do some filming job for him.
Yes, the bride's dressing is traditional style and very pretty one.
The groom is really a good man. If you know the lyrics, you would confirm it more.
He put the love stories between the bride and him into the lyrics, and he expressed many touching words to the bride.
Definitely a good man.
That day was very cold! Yes!
Thank you for your great caring words, which made you a good man too.💐
@@WalkEast That’s lovely to hear, I hope you didn’t get much of a headache from hit the old baijiu celebrating with the couple haha 👊
Hahaha, i have A great excuse to avoid drinking baijiu: I have to drive😄🤘🏻
Happy marital life for the couple.
They should continue to remember this day of happiness and work as one to a rich future .
Yes, they should!
Thanks for your warmhearted words, dear friend!
Happy new year to you!

I also looked for shoes when I got married. There are many cars now, and there is no place to park in my village too

Very similar to Malaysian Chinese wedding. Bride wore western white wedding gown. Kua usually at the tea ceremony. The open air cooking kitchen was in the early 70's however, modern day, the restaurant will take care of the dinner. Groom has to go thru few "barriers" n "tax" heavily by the bridemaids. Pray to their ancestors at the bride n groom home. Decorated cars n fire crackers too but it fun.
Wow! Thanks for your great sharing of Malaysian weddings~!!
So glad to learn that from you!
May you have a great day, dear friend!
Walk East. I enjoyed watching rural China wedding. Very interesting n fun. Since I migrated almost 2 decades ago, I missed all the Malaysian wedding of my family n relatives.

Good chinese wedding.
Thanks for your good comments too, dear friend!
I love to watch other cultures with whatever they are doing. I just fine it all fascinating :) I do have a question about this one. The traditional dress she is wearing is beautiful. Why the need to change to the western white dress ? I never understood the appeal of the white dress but I'm not a girl lol
Because the wedding ceremony is western style, so she likes the white dress more:)
Looks very fun haha, I hope i can get married one day as well
You will, friend, you will!
Best wishes to you!
traditionallyti wedding china ,woouuu beautiful.!
Thanks for watching and happy weekend!
The first of its kind. Nice!
Thanks, buddy🧚🏻

A great documentary. Btw, how about the tea ceremony?
The tea ceremony is in the noon wedding banquet and I didn't film it.
It's interesting too:)
@@WalkEast haha...that's too bad. It's the most important segment of Chinese traditional wedding tho.
@@teohjohnny Yes, and maybe I will film another wedding's tea ceremony in the future.
Thank you, buddy! You're very good!
@@WalkEast Can't wait for it. Btw, the wedding custom like groom teasing and praying to the ancestors are also practiced by the chinese here in malaysia.
