Unusaly wedding, isn't it? In China's tradition, the trip fof the bride from bride's home to bridegroom's home, is a very important part of wedding. Forexample, the vehicle that they use shows the economic conditions of the couple's family, especially the Bridegroom;s. That is why many families try their best to find a luxry limousine for the weddings so that they do not lose their faces.
Besides the complicated wedding process and expensive banquets, the wedding is also a huge burdern to guests who must give red packages of money to the host. It could be from $50 to $5000 ! So a joking goes that wedding is a tool for making money and invitation to wedding is a notice of fine!
However, more and more young people tend to get rid of the huge burden of the wedding and simply enjoy themselves.
