奇異婚姻習俗
Unique Wedding Customs From Around The World
Japanese ceremonies were traditionally held in Shinto Shrines. The bride is painted pure white from head to toe, declaring she is a maiden. She also wears a white kimono and an elaborate head piece.
During the ceremony, the bride wears a white hood to hide her "horns of jealousy" that she feels toward her mother-in-law and to display her resolve to become a gentle, obedient wife. To symbolize their union, the couple drinks sake together, becoming husband and wife once they take the first sip.
Brides have quite a few costume changes during the reception, first changing into a red kimono and then later into a Western-style dress.
German wedding traditions begin at birth. When a little girl is born in Germany, several trees are planted in her honor. These trees are then sold once her wedding date is set, the idea being that the money from the sale will be used for her dowry.
Friends and family of the couple also create a wedding newspaper, which is filled with pictures, articles and stories of the engaged couple. The proceeds from the newspaper, which is sold at the wedding, help pay for the honeymoon.
The marriage ceremony is actually done in three parts. First there is the day when couples have a civil ceremony at city hall. The next night is the party. At the party, many friends and neighbors bring old dishes to break, believing it to be good luck.
In Chinese tradition, a middleman was used to cement the rather lengthy engagement. The parents of the prospective couple controlled the negotiations. Once a man found a woman he wanted to marry, the go-between would present gifts to the girl's parents.
The go-between would also be responsible for ascertaining the girl's date and hour of birth.
Both families would then review the auspicious nature of the match, including the bride and groom's birth dates and hours, as well as consult an astrological expert. At the time of the actual ceremony, the bride was carried to the groom's home in a covered sedan chair.
In Malaysia, a groom might send his future bride child-bearing presents, such as trays of food with origami flowers and cranes made from currency bills.
The ceremony itself incorporates Hindu traditions in that the bride and groom sit in state while dressed in brocades and feed each other yellow rice with hands painted with henna.
At the ceremony, each guest might receive an artistically decorated hard-boiled egg to symbolize fertility.

有錢人較快樂嗎?
Do you think rich people are happier than the poor?
33% Say Yes
67% Say No
I guess, rich ppl can be happier, if they can handle it well.
Well, worrying about the money is one of the worst thing, i guess.
Everyone would be happier in a nice house, with a cool car, good food, having the reason to travel, and try out new things, doing sports etc.
Living on your own is much more better, than always listen to somebody else, what to u must to do, for a small amount of money.
Yes, I think that rich people are happier than poor people, because rich people do not have as many things in their lives to stress them out. A rich person doesn't have to worry about how to pay the bills. They are able to try new things if they want to.
No, in a lot of ways they are probably sadder
There are a lot of people who dream of what they would do if they could have more money. They imagine how much happier and how easy life would be. But that is not true. Really, it is harder being rich. At least when you are poor you know who your real friends are.
Rich people are not happier than the poor. Rich people have rich people problems just like poor people have poor people problems. No one gets through this world unscathed. The rich people that are happy have other things in their lives that contribute to their happiness and it's not the money.
No, being rich doesn't make someone happier.
A rich person can buy many things that can make them happy but that can only last for so long. They will get bored and need new things. They might be a lot more lonely because they can't trust people in their lives who might be friends only for their money. A poor person can find happiness with little things and it makes them cherish the things they have more.
