How can I describe a posture of the couple in this picture in English?
It's an old practise from ancient china . At the wedding , the newlyweds are supposed to toast each other and drink a cup of wine with their hands crossed . I don't know how to insert pictures here , but does anyone know what I'm talking about ?

Hi Apple. I don’t think there is a specific word for that, but “drink with their arms intertwined” would be a reasonable way to describe it.

I googled
wedding toast arms
& got
"Crossing arms during the toast | Ideas for Someday | Pinterest"
"Toast with arms intertwined | Weddings, Etiquette and Advice ..."
But some of the pages returned are similar to your question, asking what the best term is.

in the UK we would say "hands crossed" or "arms crossed" just like you have written.
