People of the Western World go to church for their weddings while some tribes in Africa hold their weddings in the open with a camp-fire and much dancing.
In China,weddings are different from those abroad.In the past people in our countryside used to carry the bride with a sedan chair from her parents’ house to her new home.Now sedan chairs are seldom seen.In-stead,the bridegroom may take the bride to their own new house by bicycle or by tractor.In our cities the bride prefers a taxi decorated with flowers and a Chinese character that means"double-happiness" on the taxi’s win-dow.However,both in the countryside and in cities a wedding feast is in-dispensable.Relatives and friends are invited to the feast to eat and drink to the happiness of the bride and bridegroom.
