Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!

I’m Xu yao from College 3.I’m glad to be here and give you my

presentation about Chinese traditional wedding.Are you interested it? Oh, I’m glad to hear that.In the coming 5 minutes, we will follow the bride to see what the wedding is like.My presentation is divided into 3 parts.They are the bride’s preparations before leaving home, the journey to the groom’s home, and the activites at the groom’s home.At the end of the presentation, I’ll give you a review and then a question and a prize for you.So pay attention.OK, here we go!

Now let’s first see what a bride does before she leaves home.At dawn on the wedding day, the bride gets up early and take a bath in water infused with pumelo, or some other kind of grapefruit, in order to cleanse herself of evil influences, and it also a cosmetic to soften her skin.After the bath, the bride puts on her wedding underwear and waits for her hair-dreing ritual.During the ritual, a good lucky woman will comb the bride’s hair four times and meanwhile saying something auspicious words like: comb your hair for the first time, from beginning to the end;the second time, harmony from now till old;the third time, sons and grandsons all over the place;the fourth time, good wealth and

long-lasting marriage.Then the good lucky woman drees the bride’s hair in the style of a married woman.After her hair was styled, the bride puts on her new red and beautiful

wedding gown.Her face is covered with a red veil, then the bride bows to her parents and awaits the arrival of the bridal proceion from the groom’s house.Finally, the groom makes his way here.Firecrackers are set off, the music instruments are played to frighten away evil spirits.When the bride departs in the sedan chair, great care is taken to ensure that no inauspicious influence would affect the marriage.The sedan chair itself is heavily curtained to prevent the bride from inadvertently glimpsing an unlucky sight, e.g.a widow, a well, or even a cat.When the bride arrives at the Groom’s House, once again, firecrackers are set off just before the proceion arrived.A red mat is placed before the sedan chair for the bride lest her feet touch the bare earth as she dismounts.The

bride is required to step over a saddle and a lit stove to cro the threshold, since the words for “saddle” and “tranquility” sound the same, and the fire would cast out of evil influences and make the couple’s life as hot as fire.An attendant might immediately place a heap of rice in a sieve over or near the bride.The Wedding the heaven and earth, secondly bow to the parents, thirdly bow to each other.then the couple are led to the bridal chamber, where the groom could finally raise the red scarf and view the bride’s face.Honey and wine are poured into two goblets linked by a red thread.The bride and groom take a few sips and then exchanged cups and drink it down.
