Question from a couple:  On what hand is the engagement ring worn?

Response:  Third finger on the LEFT hand. The engagement ring should be moved to the third finger of the right hand right before the wedding ceremony begins temporarily.  Why?  Because the wedding ring should be on the inside and then you place the engagement ring on the outside, right after the wedding ceremony.

Weddings in the Chinese Tradition

These days, the majority of Chinese weddings in Hong Kong, North America, and Europe are Western in style, with the brides in white gowns.   If the ceremony is a church wedding, it would likely be Protestant or Catholic.  Traditional Chinese elements that might be incorporated into the celebrations could include a multi-course banquet, and the bride wearing a traditional silk outfit, whether a long skirt or the form-fitting chiansam with high slits up the sides of the skirt up the sides of the skirt.  The traditional tea ceremony is often observed after the church ceremony.
