Wedding day and Traditions

Hi, I do believe some old folks may still want their children to undergo those traditional wedding,but nowadays,most youngster want something simple and easy on their wedding. Those traditional practices almost no exist anymore. During my own wedding, everything looks simple and I was lucky because my in-law do not emphasize have to follow the old traditional ceremony. I remembered last time when my uncle got married, they even have to get chicken and put the chicken under the bed,then must have those traditional cake and glutinous rice balls on the ceremony.

Wedding day is one of my biggest dream. There are so many things to remember when preparing for that very special day and it takes tons of planning, preparation, efforts. One thing we must consider I think is those traditions and superstitious beliefs. If we would follow what our ancestors have been doing for so long I think we will not lose anything. for me its one way also of respecting the beliefs of our ancestors. I guess there's no harm in trying with those beliefs.

I think that when women are younger, they dream about having a huge fairy-tail and traditional wedding, but in today's world, the reality is that we cannot all afford to have that. In my opinion, as well as my husband's, we felt that it was just as meaningful to have the small ceremony that we had and the money that we saved could be used for more practical things. Yes, it would have been nice to have all of those traditional things that I have always dreamt of having, but the reality is that we both already had kids that we were bringing to the marriage and the money would be better spent for them than on a traditional wedding and reception. I do feel that tradition is an important part of family. I think that a lot of those traditions have gone to the wayside and the meaning of them has been lost. I also think that those traditions hold a lot of meaning that many people have never taken the time to learn about. My wedding held very few of the traditional things that I grew up learning about. We did exchange rings, as a symbol of our never-ending love and commitment, we did say traditional vows, and after we were married, we did have a cake and join hands to cut the cake. We also fed each other the first bite of cake and intertwined our arms to take a drink after my family made a toast. Each of our traditions were a symbol of love and unity, and to us, those were the traditions that were the most important to us.
