Chinese Wedding Ceremony Customs - East Meets West Wedding Officiants - Los Angeles & Orange County - California

February 5th 2011 -  - "What customs might be in a Chinese marriage ceremony, but not in a modern Western marriage ceremony"?  Original Ideas By http://www.legallymarried.com/

Answer - East Meets West

With this year's Chinese Theme of Peace,  writing a wedding ceremony on theme will include some Chinese custom, adaptation with western ideas, and inclusions personal to each bride and groom. A well written marriage ceremony should be a microcosm of the couple's lives - history, personality, hobbies, occupation are some of the considerations which assist in the shaping of a personalized wedding ceremony wording. 

Chinese Custom Adapted- In Chinese wedding traditions, a groom is often symbolically “dressed” by his parents. In a modern western adaptation of the same, the parents may assist in the selection of the wedding attire, along with the bride and groom. The Groom's parents may purchase a piece of jewelry or coin, whether carried in the pocket or pinned on prior to the wedding ceremony. The jewelry piece will symbolize the Chinese wedding year theme of peace. This suggestion is an original from The Clergy Network  - Los Angeles & Orange County Wedding Officiants, and provided by their professional wedding ceremony writers.

Chinese Wedding Customs - Los Angeles & Orange County Wedding Officiants

January 30 2011 -Orange County Wedding - Los Angeles County & Orange County Wedding Officiants -  "Have you presided a modern western ceremony with Chinese or other Asian customs added"?

Answer

Yes, many over the last 21 years! In fact, we will be happy to write about the few Chinese customs added to a custom wedding ceremony by our TCN wedding officiants. Here is the first important fact.

1. The date of a Chinese wedding is chosen carefully, usually consulting an almanac or Chinese symbols or a parent or grandparent. Also, Chinese couples are typically married on the half-hour, as the hand of the clock is moving upward (signifying that they are on the up-ward move).

So, the date and time have a purpose, as does the year. Our Chinese brides and grooms combine this custom and others with a more western theme. However, we have presided more traditional Chinese marriage ceremonies, including the use of Mandarin or Cantonese throughout the ceremony.
