Cross-cultural weddings on the rise

Cross-cultural weddings on the rise - From the Vancouver Sun.

Vancouver has lots of Chinese from HK. Great quote - "The challenge is to not offend anybody and to not miss a detail that would matter."

The wedding in the article was part Catholic - ie same as American Wedding Traditions and Customs and then has a Chinese part with Lion Dancing (I have not seen that before), with Chinese Wedding Traditions and Customs. This included the part about bribing his way in with red envelopes and such, and then added some Sri Lankan wedding traditions and customs.

The big fat Indian wedding from the Economic Times, India. Costs are increasing by 20% per year as they become bigger and bigger. Interesting to contrast the expenses with the typical US wedding.

Ethnic Weddings - Somali

Somali wedding ceremonies — an ‘unnecessary extravaganza?’- nice article, I do question the part of the title that says an ‘unnecessary extravaganza? Compared to the average cost of a US wedding, a Somali wedding in the US is actually cheap.
