How do your area celebrate wedding?
Yesterday I went to a wedding. Here in China or at least in my city, we usually start a wedding at noon, and many relatives and friends(50 tables people is not a big number). And we give 红包(lucky money) to the new couple as good wishes. However, nowadays the 红包 has changed its good intention before, more like people's pressure. Well, I have to admit it is an interpersonal-communication now. People give me 红包 this time, then I have to give 红包 back when he helds a ceremony like his birthday, his daugther's wedding or his parents' birthday.
I'm not saying it's good or not. But I'm sure i would not like to celebrate my wedding like this. I don't like too much people and 红包, just wanna closest friends and relatives to share my happiness and get-together. I hope everyone in wedding has a real wishful heart, instead of going through the motions
Moreover I'd like to know how do your area celebrate wedding?
