[quote=JSUMMERS83,291792]I got married very traditionally in the West. I first asked the permission of the parents of my now wife, then asked her, and after a short period of time we got married. Her dad gave my wife away to me at the ceremony. Although the customs and cultures may differ all over the world, it seems to me that this idea of transferring the care of a woman from the father to the husband is almost universal. Even if the actual giving of the bride doesn't occur in a Chinese ceremony, I have noticed that the brides get all dressed up at their house where the husband comes with his entourage to carry her down the stairs to the car to drive off to the ceremony and to life together.[/quote]
