As an indispensable part of Chinese culture, marriage customs varies a lot due to the different regions, or even differs from village to village. In my hometown matchmaker still plays a very important role in a marriage. After a successful meeting of a boy and a girl (always love at the first sight), they will get engaged with a lot of guests as eyewitness. After that they will come to know each other. Usually they will get married after one or two years' if everything is OK. One interesting thing for me on the right day of marriage is that the bridegroom must pull on a pair of new red shoes for the bride. What about the marriage customs in your hometown?

Most of bride wear white dress which was believe unlucky by tradition! But who cares? They like because it is a kind of fashion, a western style but now a fashion in China.
