Australia, located in the southern hemisphere, is a
multi-ethnic country. Its wedding customs which have a close relationship with
nation and religious is various and unique.
Holding wedding in the park
The young generation in Australia is open-minded. They
will hold their wedding in a fresh way such as holding the wedding ceremony in the park
instead of following the beaten track and do the way their parents tell them
to. When the wedding date is finally fixed, the bride will put on her beautiful
white wedding dress and
groom will invite some friends and relatives and then head for the agreed place
in accompany of both their parents. One of the old ladies of the bride’s side
will host the wedding. When the wedding march plays, people in the park will
get around and have a watch. The priest will firstly make a brief introduction
of the bride and groom and says some blessing words. Then the bride and groom
express their gratitude, talk about their love story and promise to be loyal to
each other. In a warm applause, they exchange rings, hug and kiss. The entire
procedure will finish when the newly couple sign on the certificate.
The ceremony lasts about half an hour. Many
photographer record the happy moment down and give it to the newly couple. Spectators
and the newly couple don’t know each other. But they will agree to take
pictures with the spectators only if they ask for. What’s more interesting,
those spectators will seem it a lucky chance to come across such happy
occasion.
Dance and barbecue in the
picnic
After the wedding ceremony, the newly couple have
picnic to treat all. Australia love the original way in food. They toast the
meet when going out for picnic at weekend or holidays. Treating the guests by
toasting meet can view the beautiful natural scenery and experience the lasting
appeal of original nature. After the picnic, the bride and groom will dance in
the open grassland with the guests and will not leave for home until the sun
sinks in the west.
Newly couple will begin their honey moon after the
wedding. As one of the most urbanized region in the world, more than 80 percent
of the Australian lives in the city, especially in Sydney and Melbourne. People
live in city for long are always hoping to go to some place without annoying and harsh noise, which is one of the reason why
Australian newly couple are fond of honeymoon travel.
The central and northern arid region and edge area of
Australia lives the aboriginal people. They live on gathering wild plants and
hunting. They live an original live and keep the old customs, making their
wedding customs more special.
When the aboriginal young man and woman are preparing
for wedding, the most important thing is to dressing up. Their clothes are
simple. They just wear a cloth in the waist instead of having a wedding dress
on. But ornament on them is very complicate.
