The wedding is approaching, and Riley's wedding has been selected as two models.
The so-called combination of Chinese and Western is not complete.
In fact it should be knotted twice.
Once with a Western-style wedding, and again with a Chinese-style wedding.
Considering that my friends are all foreigners, I chose a Western-style wedding first.
Which includes
1. Diamond Engagement Ring
This tradition began in the 15th century, when Maximilian, Archduke of Austria, made a vow to Mary with a diamond ring.At that time, his close aide submitted a letter saying: "Your Highness, when you get engaged, you must give a ring with diamonds." Maximilian said.This ceremony has been passed down to the present day for centuries.
2. The bride should wear gloves
Gloves are tokens of love.In the Middle Ages, many gentlemen gave gloves to their lovers to express their marriage proposal.If the other party wears those gloves when he goes to church on Sunday, it means that she has accepted his marriage proposal.
3. The wedding ring should be worn on the ring finger of the left hand
The ancients believed that the blood vessels in the ring finger of the left hand went straight to the heart.In the Middle Ages, the groom put the wedding ring on the bride's three fingers in turn to symbolize the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and finally put the ring on the ring finger.Therefore, the ring finger of the left hand is used as the traditional finger for wearing wedding rings in all English-speaking countries.
4. Diamonds: The Supreme Symbol of Love
Heat and pressure create individual crystalline diamonds.Diamond is the hardest substance known to man.In ancient times, people did not have the tools and technology to cut diamonds.Diamonds therefore naturally become a symbol of eternal love, and the heat that breeds diamonds represents blazing love.
5. The bride wears a veil
western style wedding ring
Originally, the bridal veil symbolized youth and purity.Christian brides either wear a white veil to show purity and celebration, or wear a blue veil to show purity like the Virgin Mary.It is said that Nelly Wallace, the granddaughter of the first first lady of the United States, Martha Washington, wore a white scarf ingeniously when she got married, setting off a fashion.This is the origin of today's custom of brides wearing white veils.
6. The bride wears a white dress
Since Roman times, white has symbolized celebration.During the Victorian era from 1850 to 1900, white was also a symbol of wealth and happiness.Later, the meaning of holiness and loyalty was strengthened, forming the lofty status of pure white wedding dress.And remarried women can use colors other than white, such as pink or lake blue, to show their difference from their first marriage.
7. During the wedding ceremony
The bride always stands to the left of the groom
In ancient times, the Anglo-Saxon groom often had to step up to protect the bride from being snatched away.During the wedding ceremony, the groom asks the bride to stand on his left side. Once a rival appears, he can draw out his sword immediately to repel the enemy.
8. Customized wedding cake
Cakes have been an integral part of festive rituals since Roman times.In those days, at the end of the wedding, a loaf of bread would be broken off on the bride's head.Wheat, the material for making bread, symbolizes fertility.Bread crumbs represent luck, and guests are all scrambling to pick them up.According to the traditional customs of the Middle Ages, the bride and groom kiss through the cake.Later, imaginative bakers decorated the cake with icing, and it became today's beautiful and delicious wedding cake.
9. Honeymoon
The origin of the word "Honeymoon" comes from ancient European customs.Newlyweds should drink honey fermented drinks every day within 30 days after marriage, or until the moon is short, so as to enhance the harmony of sexual life.In ancient times, honey was a symbol of life, health and fertility. A "honeymoon" is a time of solitude for newlyweds before resuming their normal lives.
in terms of time
17:00 Ceremony begins, the priest arrives and plays the entrance music; the groomsmen and bridesmaids enter the venue first, and stand facing the guests on both sides; the ring boy hands the ring to the priest
17:03 Following the wedding march, the bride enters the venue with her father on her arm; the father hands the bride to the groom who has been waiting for a long time
17:10 The audience is silent (music is stopped), the bride and groom exchange rings and take oaths
17:15 Speech by the witnesses
17:20 The ceremony is over, the couple exits after the music starts, the guests applaud and throw flower petals to the couple
17:30 Newcomers and guests take pictures
17:40 The band plays music, guests enter the restaurant one after another, and can enjoy appetizers and drinks
18:10 After the newcomers enter the restaurant, the first course is served, the waiters pour champagne to the guests, and the important guests give speeches
18:40 After the appetizers, the bride and groom dance the first dance.The groomsmen, bridesmaids and other guests then entered the dance floor to dance together
19:00 Re-seat and wait for the staple food
19:30 Continuing the dance while dessert is served
20:00 The bride throws the bouquet
20:10 The newlyweds shuttle among the guests to express their gratitude for their presence, and provide coffee and various after-dinner drinks
20:30 The bride and groom cut the cake together
But these are not difficult to handle, Riley can easily solve these things, and even reset the time to hold a Chinese wedding.
Compared with the West, Chinese weddings are much, much more complicated.
Marriage Six Rituals
Tang wedding dress
Chinese wedding can be divided into three stages:
Prenuptial ceremony, aka "engagement"
Zheng wedding, the etiquette of "marriage" or "marriage", means the union of husband and wife
Marriage ceremony is the ceremony of "becoming a wife", "becoming a wife" or "becoming a son-in-law", which indicates the roles played by men and women after marriage. In traditional Chinese marriage customs, pre-wedding ceremony and formal wedding are the main procedures. These procedures They all originated from the Six Rites of Duke Zhou.
According to the records of Hunyi in the Book of Rites: "Those who are in the Hunli will combine the best of the two surnames, and use the ancestral temple at the top, and inherit the future generations at the bottom. The sign and the time of request are all held by the master outside the door, enter the bow and rise up, obey the order of the temple, and bow to welcome outside the door, enter the bow and rise, obey the order of the temple, so respect and prudence are also called the evening ceremony. Therefore, it is called the evening ceremony Those who are the foundation of etiquette."
The so-called six ceremonies, according to the records of rituals, are Na Cai, Asking Names, Na Ji, Na Zheng, Asking Dates, and Greeting.It is said that the six rites were created in the Zhou Dynasty. Some scholars believe that the six rites existed in the time of King Wen of Zhou, but some people do not follow the six rites.
In the third year of the first year of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xin and others arranged a wedding, and the four ministers and ministers said that Qian Langshi's family could welcome them in person. The next year, the queen also accepted Cai and Buji.During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the wedding of the crown prince and the princess was not invited. From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, marriages were often not performed according to the six rituals.
After the Tang Dynasty, the crown prince began to welcome the prince, and the prince's wedding would follow the six rituals.Later, "asking the name" was in "nacai" and "inviting the date" was in "nacheng"; so although the concept is still in accordance with the six rituals, in fact there are only "nacai", "naji" and "nazheng". " and "welcome" four rituals.And Zhu Zi's family rituals combined "Naji" and "Nazheng" into one ritual, so there are only three rituals.
Three books and six rituals
三书
The three books are the letter of engagement, the letter of ceremony and the letter of welcoming relatives:
Appointment letter Appointment letter is a book for engagement, which is handed over by the man's family to the woman's family at the time of "Naji" (Guo Wending).
Book of Rites Li Shu is a book used for "Na Zheng" (excessive gifts). The book of rites will list the types and quantities of gifts in detail.
As the name suggests, the welcoming book is the book when marrying the bride, which is used when "welcoming in person".
六礼
Nacai is also known as "caichou", which is equivalent to "proposing marriage" and "talking about matchmaking" in later generations.It means that the man made a decision after careful consideration. "Wen Gong's Family Rituals" said: "The etiquette of accepting one's choice is the so-called determination in this world." In ancient times, it was relatively simple and simple, as recorded in "Rituals and Scholars' Hun Li". Or "Zhi", only "use geese".It was supposed to be just a pheasant, but pheasants are not easy to capture alive, most of them are dead, it is not suitable for marriage, and the wedding is a major event in life, so the newlyweds are allowed to wear and use clothing and accessories beyond their status.
There are [-] kinds of Nacai gifts recorded in Tang Duyou Tongdian:

After that, there is a change of family tree and so on.
But the most exciting thing is the last hijab flip, isn't it?
What would it be like to wear Fengguan Xiapi in Edith's human form?
Edith rarely left a mystery.
Make everything fun.
The gifts from the Avengers are in place.
It is a medieval magic game changed with islands.
Tony Stark presented a suit, and another suit.
Peter and May sent homemade cakes, while Wanda and Charles were responsible for changing the location of the entire wedding.
Doctor Strange presented a small and cute Cerberus.
Etc., etc.
What surprised Riley the most was the gift from Asgard, two goats.
Can you imagine?
But this is the legendary Thor's mount.
One is named "Nakedtooth Growler" and the other is named "Tooth Grinder". One of them is special because it is lame.When Thor rides in his chariot, the goat's footsteps are so loud that they are often interpreted as thunder.When Thor was resting, he would feed on the goats, and then wrap the bones in fur. The next day, Thor would hit them with Thor's hammer to resurrect them and become a mount again.
Usually riding, eating meat before going to bed, seems to be a very good thing.
But for Riley, this can only be regarded as a very boring collection.
After all, these two don't eat here, and neither of them need to ride a bike.
The wedding lasted for two days and two nights.
After a night of carnival, Riley even simply built a planet and stopped time.
Waiting for everyone to leave, leaving only Edith and Riley.
On the temple built in the universe, a simple hammock, Riley took off Edith's red hijab.
Asked that classic question.
"Edith?"
"I'm here."
One sentence is enough, isn't it?
quote a classic
The mountains have no edges, the sky and the earth are in harmony, and dare not be with the king.
It's been a fantastic night.
Two silicon-based life forms are entangled, sharing memories and everything.
far beyond the universe
The shimmering golden gem suddenly turned into a crazy woman, full of rage.
How terrible is a woman who chooses to divide herself because she is too powerful?
Let me ask you this, have you seen pastoral feminism?
It is more than ten thousand times stronger than them.
"Did my power automatically find their owners? Interesting, then let me add a little more fire?"
The goddess of nemesis did not choose to kill them immediately, but let them destroy the universe for themselves, if not, then kill the chicken and take the eggs.
Then he comes to destroy the universe by himself.
This is a lunatic, a lunatic who cannot reason and can only be killed.
Looking at the flickering light of the soul gem beside him, and the slowly forming figure inside the cocoon.
Nemesis accelerated his evolution.
and gave it a name.
Adam the Warlock!
Warlocks must follow the trend~
Immediately afterwards, the Nemesis sent Warlock Adam to the place where he found the most powerful man in the universe.
There is the earth.
A place where masters gather.
The first stop is Asgard!
Which is stronger, Hela, the goddess of death, or Adam, the warlock?
This is a question worth pondering.
In Asgard, Hela discovered this frightening thing immediately, and the power contained in it was enough to destroy the entire Asgard!
Odin is old!
just me!Never allow Asgard to be harmed!
"Sol! Follow me!"
Hela is full of the shadow of Odin.
Su Griffin roared angrily, this battle!
When wins!
