Traditional weddings here start from the engagement ceremony, couples treat families and friends to announce their relationship into legal status. In the past century, the matchmaker would be invited by the rich family, introducing them the best candidate that met their criteria. If the matchmaker successfully matched the marriage, she could have red envelope with lots of money. During the past century, women were either suffering from their marriage or serving only one husband until death. Nowadays, young people make their choice and arrange their wedding by either dancing or hiring singers to make it more lively.

The only thing that has never changed would probably be the gift money- the red envelope. People who are invited to the wedding need to provide their red envelopes to couples. How much you give to couples is considered as part of etiquette in our cultures. In order to make the process more simpler, some couples decide to have formal wedding ceremony without engagement.
