Wedding Traditions
Hong Kong is a cutting edge, cosmopolitan city with a different universal foundation, thusly numerous couples blend both Chinese and western components in their wedding to make an East meets West combination of customs and societies. This regularly incorporates two complete arrangements of occasions on one (long) day beginning with early morning arrangements and a conventional Chinese tea function with guardians took after by a western service in a congregation or common venue. Numerous ladies wear two separate outfits on their big day, a western style wedding outfit for the function and the passage to the night meal, in addition to a customary Chinese Qipao for the tea service and later in the feast. Amid the wedding meal the couple will move from table to table to thank the visitors then not long after the supper is finished the couple and their families will remain by the passage to say goodbye to their visitors as they leave.
Numerous couples don't have a western style blessing registry or expect physical endowments from participants of their gathering. Rather, it is conventional for visitors going to a Chinese wedding dinner to give the couple a blessing as "Lai See" (interpreted as fortunate cash). Lai See is a money blessing that is given in a red envelope that is commonly a sum that takes care of the expense of the visitor's supper or somewhat additional for the couple. Customarily Lai See bundles are either Red or Gold and are typically enhanced with images that mean the presenting of good fortune, wellbeing and success.
