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.
