The Most Unusual Wedding Ceremony

 

 In my mind, wedding ceremony should hold in church, or in Asian case, grand hotel. And normally, bride wear white dress, bridegroom wear suit. However, I was attended a wedding ceremony that I could never forget.

 Actually, It was my best friend's wedding. He was twenty-four years old and his wife was two years younger than him. The reason why they married so quick, was not the accident, such as unexpected pregnancy. The reason is that both family wanted. And unimaginably, two families are relative. So they arranged the wedding together foe them. Fortunately, bride and bridegroom does not related by blood.

 I arrived my friend's home before the wedding day. Fujian Province's winter was not cold as the north part of China. That place does not snow in winter instead of rain. I asked my friend, " What time I should get up tomorrow?"

 "Around 10 is OK." He answered.

 "10AM? Isn't it a little late for wedding?"

 "Don't worry. The wedding will start in night."

 I thought he was kidding, but next day, I found he told the truth. All his family members were peacefully doing their own things and no sign for going outing. After brunch, my friend told me, prepare for pick up the bride.

 "So, we are going to hotel?"

 "No, bro. I forgot to tell you, the wedding will hold in my house."

 " Really?!"

Though, my friend lives in a four-story house with a nice yard. I could not imagine how they would manage the ceremony. After we picked up the bride to his home. I found they got a cook crew from a local restaurant for prepare the meals for ceremony.

 I remember, at 6PM, the wedding ceremony stared. My friend wore a black western suit and bride wore a traditional red costume. What a combination! After bustling ceremony, we all had party together till the midnight. It is the most unusual wedding ceremony I have ever seen.
