The traditional Chinese wedding ceremony is often a lively affair, as depicted in this photograph. Family members and friends gather at the bridal couple’s homes to celebrate the joyous occasion. Guests are seen here, watching the newlyweds go through the customary rites, while enjoying a good feast. At Chinese weddings, the food that is served is often symbolic of happiness, longevity and fertility.
