Chinese Wedding

Nov. 11, I attended to a friend’s wedding. I have saw that Steven called it Single's Day, however, this youth chose to end their single life that day, but would support and love each other for ever, let us pray for them.
Now, in the cities, more and more new couples choose to place the ceremony at a meeting room at hotels. They will send the invitation letter 1 week in advance (150-300 people). On that day, new couple will put on Wedding dress, stand at the gate to welcome guest during 530pm-7pm, surely, guest will congratulate them personally with Chinese Hongbao (Red Packet with money). With the start of wedding music(7pm), this couple will go into the hall together, then have a talk show on the stage for 10-15 minutes(parents, senior even boss). Around 730pm, the new couple (bride will change with a Chinese Qingbao) go to each table to thanks all of the guest. 4 parents will follow up. Some times, their friends will set a holdback on purpose, eg, the new couple tries to eat a apple hung and waving together (opposite seats) and so on. At this situation, new couple has no choice, just follow and pass.
This is not typic Chinese custom now, becomes mixture of western and Chinese.
Have not got my friend’s authorization, here only can share the wedding ornament, because it was taken by mobile, please forgive me it was not clear.
