A report says that in Shanghai, a wedding ceremony and a wedding banquet would cost 10,000 RMB. Some say that the bridegroom could get his money back from the "Red Envelopes", the guests who attend the wedding bing with him. Is it the real case? Actually, the pre-wedding expenses are virtually limitless. The "engagement gifts" are costly. The men should buy " Three Golden Articles" for their fiancees: Golden Rings. Necklaces and Earrings. What is the exact cost of a wedding in China? Nobody calculates, but it is costly. No wonder many parents begin to prefer daughters to sons. How about the cost of a wedding in your villages, towns or cities?

So they want to share this big moment with their relatives and friends, thus, costly is worthy, in their opinions.

The wedding ring is usually a simple gold ring. Women usually wear them together when they go out, but take the engagement ring off when they are working around the house.
