Does anyone know what engagement ceremonies are like in the west?

Western weddings are very romantic, and the whole wedding is full of romance from beginning to end. The bride's dress is usually white and the groom's dress is black, which makes the whole wedding look solemn. Going to church for the wedding ceremony is the most important part of the whole wedding. First of all, with the rhythm of the wedding March, the bride took her father's hand to the groom, and his father gave her to the groom. The priest will ask the bride and groom to make a lifelong commitment to each other, which is also the climax of the whole wedding. Then they will exchange wedding rings and kiss each other with the blessing of the priest and everyone. At the end of the wedding, the bride will throw it to the female guests present. Whoever receives the bouquet is the next person to get married, which makes the whole wedding end in laughter.

Weddings in China are different from those in the West. The main color of the whole wedding is red, which is also the traditional representative of China. This made the wedding jubilant. In traditional weddings, the bride usually wears a red Luo coat, a rockhopper and a red silk scarf, while the groom wears a red dress and jacket and a red hat. The bride sat behind the red sedan chair and the groom rode in front, and followed the matchmaker and the wedding team to the groom's house to pay homage. Both parents sit in the upper hall, and the bride and groom get married in the lower hall. The whole wedding was presided over by the master of ceremonies. Under his command, the bride and groom bowed to the high hall, and then the husband and wife bowed to each other and sent them to the bridal chamber. The bridal chamber is the climax of the wedding. The bride goes back to the bridal chamber first and waits for the groom, who will entertain the guests outside.

By studying the differences between Chinese and western weddings, I understand their respective characteristics: Western weddings are pure and romantic, while Chinese weddings are beaming; Western weddings emphasize emotion, while China emphasizes ceremony. Due to different customs, China and the West have formed their own wedding customs. Although customs are different, weddings everywhere are full of blessings and laughter.
