Now in China the wedding has both traditional and western elements. They take wedding photos in suit and bridal veil, and also in Chinese traditional dressing. Some may even wear ancient style clothes(吉服,凤冠霞帔), which now can be seen mostly in traditional dramas, movie and TV. Here are some pictures. http://image.baidu.com/i?ct=503316480&z=&tn=baiduimagedetail&word=%BB%E9%C0%F1%BC%AA%B7%FE&in=12843&cl=2&lm=-1&pn=8&rn=1&di=29954881440&ln=396&fr=bk&fmq=&ic=0&s=0&se=1&sme=0&tab=&width=&height=&face=0&is=&istype=2 The bridegroom goes to the bride's home(娘家) with a queue of autos(in ancient time with horses and a sedan chair). He may have to pass a few tests set by the bride's family(mostly her sisters and brothers) before he can take the bride back to his home. The tests are usually easy to pass with a cash gift. Now he usually does this from a room in a hotel or the dressing room in a photo studio to the banquet in a hotel, where some of his and her families, relatives and friends are expecting them. After they arrive, they usually stand at the gate, welcoming the other coming guests. The guests give the new couple cash gifts. The couple thank them. When all the guests arrive, the ritual begins. A master of wedding ceremony directs the ritual. The new couple kneel down and kowtow to their parents and offer tea to them, in order to thank them for their raising and teaching. In the ancient ritual, the couple kowtow three times. The first to heaven and earth, the second to the parents and the third to each other. The couple call the other side's parents for the first time "papa and mama" instead of "uncle and aunt" . The new papa and mama give the new son and daughter cash gifts for their "oral change". The bridegroom calls his father-in-law "岳父，岳丈 or 丈人" formally or just "papa" in daily. And his mother-in-law "岳母, 丈母娘" formally or just "mama" in daily. The bride her father-in-law "公公" and her mother-in-law "婆婆" formally,and also "papa and mama" in daily. After thanking parents, they give a speech. And then, the feast starts! The couple drink a taost to the guests of one table and then another, till all the guests drink with them. So the couple may have to drink quite a lot. But the bridesmaid and brideman can help them to share the drink. After the feast, some guests may take a revelry in the bridal chamber.
