13、 ringIn western countries, if the lovers want to get married, the boy should have to propose to the girl, and give her an engagement ring. The giving of an engagement ring was first practiced when the groom purchased his bride. By giving a token, such as a ring, he pledged to marry her in return for
14、 her dowry and social status, among other things. The tradition of giving adiamond began with the Italians. It was believed that diamonds were created from the flames of love and represented everlasting love. If the girl accepts the engagement ring, they are engaged.1.12 Tell their parentsAs soon as
15、 they get engaged, they need to tell their parents. And then the girls parents will announce the engagement and the wedding.

18、ow what the bride or the groom likes.1.14 The rowdy bachelor partiesThe rowdy bachelor parties were the invention of the Spartan Soldiers. It became customary for the groom to feast with his friends the night before the wedding, often celebrating his last night of freedom by getting severely drunk (
19、not much has changed it seems). In modern times, women have decided they also want their night of fun, so now it is traditional for women to have Stagette or Bachelorette parties as well.1.2 On wedding day1.21 Dressing of the brideUp until the 1400s, the bride usually wore her best dress regardless

22、ny similarly dressed people.The custom of the best man probably goes back to the days when the groom took a friend with him when he went to kidnap the bride from her home. Bells were originally rung at weddings to frighten away the evil spirits, and noisy celebrations were held beforehand to try and
23、 drive them from the community. These were the ancestors of our stag and hen parties.1.23 The main process off the wedding dayFirst the groom will take the brides hand from the brides father, and then he will uncover the veil of the bride. Later the priest will pray for then and the will follow prie
24、st to say like this:I (Tom/Susan), take thee (Susan/Tom)to my wedded wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish , till death us do apart, according to Gods holy ordinance; and thereto I plight
25、thee my troth.(quote)Then they will wear the ring for each other, and the groom will kiss the bride, The Wedding Kiss dates back to Roman times.

26、ve a party. Usually the new couples will go to have a honeymoon later that day.Chaper2.Marriage customs in ChinaChinese marriage was systemized into custom during the Warring States period. Due to the vast expansion and long history, there are different customs that are followed in different places,
27、 although they are generally thesame. We can still get chances to witness traditional marriages in the countryside. (Quote)Compare to the western marriage customs, here will display the old Chinese ones and the difference between them.Chapter3. The reason of the impactChinese marriage customs have c

29、ll of romantic from the beginning to the end. The brides dress is generally white, and the grooms is black, which make the whole wedding serious and solemn.

30、thers hand to the wedding march rhythm. Then her father delivered her to the hands of the groom, and pastor will ask the bride and groom make a lifelong promise to each other, which is the climax of the whole wedding.

31、he priests and guests. The flowers ball in the brides hands is not an ordinary furnishing. At the end of the wedding, the bride would throw it to the female guests arrived at the scene, the one who received the flowers is the next person to get married. Then the wedding comes to the end in the laugh
32、 of the guests.ConclusionThe differences between Chinese and Western marriage relates directely to the differences of ideology and thinking. Chinese people are moreconservative, and they like liveness, so therere not many changes on the wedding customs through a period of housands of years of time.

35、 which is not suitable for development of the times in every country will be impacted by other advanced culture, shrinking or even disappearing, which is a normal phenomenon. If you do not have no courage to admite being backward and absorb in a good cultural absorption, how can you exceed other cou

We should dare to embrace the advanced culture that is suitable for the development, and to abandon the bad and outdated culture, no matter the culture is Chinese or foreign. We should hold an attitude of “The sea contains every river, and the gr
