All weddings are held for the bride, and the wedding day always belongs to the bride. Even the other protagonist, the groom, is just her foil. Imagine that if you make a splash at someone else's wedding and grab the eye, then you are finished, and you will be the biggest enemy of the bride in this life.
Nowadays, weddings are usually held in the central and western regions. The bride wears both western-style wedding dresses and Chinese dresses, so in order not to steal the bride's limelight, there are several colors that must not be worn, that is, white or light beige series and big red. Otherwise, sitting at the banquet and always eating the bride's dirty eyes, those big fish and meat will definitely not be delicious. Of course, if the bride lets you wear it, that's another matter.
The most taboo to attend a wedding banquet is to dress casually and untidy.
After all, this is still a major event in people's lives, and dressing neatly is the basic respect for the owner. The clothes of male guests are very simple: suits, shirts and ties. Women's demands are more complicated: if you are only attending a party, a suit and tie will do. If you go to a formal wedding, you'd better take off the pearls and tie them with a black ribbon, or put on a small and chic suit. Formal weddings need respect, especially when held in traditional temples or cathedrals. If there is a dance after the wedding banquet, or the host indicates it on the invitation, you should also wear a more grand dress. It is said that in Japan, all the ladies attending the wedding should wear kimonos, and they are specially prepared for the wedding, which shows how grand it is. No matter how gorgeous you dress, remember: never be too topless and attract too much attention. If the groom keeps winking, then you will be missed by the bride for life.
When attending a wedding reception, don't attack the bride with gossip.
Even if you are a good friend of the groom, or have a crush on him, looking at the woman in the wedding dress really thinks that the groom didn't find a flower in this pile of cow dung, but it still says that the wedding day belongs to the bride. Even if someone's wedding dress looks like a cake, even if it looks like a natural disaster, the wedding is a public occasion. Can you confirm the identities of all the guests sitting next to you? Maybe your teasing fell into the ears of the woman's relatives and friends. You know, people will be husband and wife in the future, and you, an outsider, are likely to be removed from the groom's friend list by the bride and lose a friend for no reason.
When you attend the wedding reception, don't have too much fun.
It used to be an essential part of weddings, but now some weddings are simplified, and many guests start playing tricks on two couples at the banquet.
Some funny and interesting games really help to push the atmosphere of the wedding banquet to a climax, and the couple will still be played willingly. But remember not to go too far!
When attending a wedding reception, don't propose a toast; it's endless rambling.
If you are good friends of both parties, sometimes you should toast at the dinner to express your wishes to the bride and groom. If there are more than 10 guests, be sure to stand up. If you are in a few familiar people, you can sit and propose a toast. In order to attract others' attention, you can make an opening statement, such as "Ladies and gentlemen, I propose a toast to Mr. (Miss)"; Or don't be so formal, just say "I want to say something now" in a louder voice than normal. However, if you knock on the edge of the cup to attract others' attention, don't try too hard, because I tried too hard at least three times and broke the cup!
Don't make a toast for more than 3 minutes at a wedding reception. So attend the wedding banquet to avoid rambling. When greeting new people, words can express concern, humor, frankness and touching, and even banter, which is harmless. Your attitude can be serious or humorous. However, the most important thing is that you practice in advance.
You can leave the wedding reception without saying hello.
Guests attending the wedding can leave early if they have something to do, and don't have to say hello to the couple, because there are often many guests at the wedding and it is impossible to take care of them one by one. Guests just attend the wedding, send blessings and witness the wedding.
The wedding is not over yet. When should guests usually leave? The established practice is to mark the departure of the bride's family guests, and other guests can also leave. At this time, guests don't have to greet the bride and groom one by one, because there will still be many people to socialize with.
Don't stick out your tongue when the new guests at the wedding banquet propose a toast.
When the bride and groom come to the table to make a toast, some guests may feel close to them, or to show their concern for the couple, they often hold the bride and groom for a long time, which is impolite. First of all, all the people who come to the wedding banquet are relatives and friends of the bride and groom, so we can't tell the distance between them. Secondly, the bride and groom should entertain guests in the audience, and they should not get along with one guest for too long and ignore others; Finally, the bride and groom toast at the dinner table mainly to express their gratitude to the guests and let them share their sweet happiness. Talking too many irrelevant topics is not in line with the atmosphere of the wedding. If you want to talk more with the bride and groom, you might as well find another time.
