A Church Wedding in Canada 一场加拿大教堂婚礼
Location：Edmonton, Canada. Time: 2017, July 29th. 地点，加拿大埃德蒙顿。时间2017年7月29。
Today, I attend my first Church Wedding, the new couple was undergraduate students that works in my lab when I was a Ph.D. student. They both grown up in China and the bride came to Canada from high school while the groom come to here for College.
今天我第一次参加了一场教堂举行的婚礼，新郎和新娘是我读博士的时候带过的本科生。他们都是在国内长大，新娘来加拿大读高中加大学，而新郎直接来都大学。
This is a very lovely story but not that special, the reason I would like to post today is to discuss the little difference between the wedding I attended in China and Canada.
这是一个很美的故事，不过并不算特殊。想写这个帖子的主要原因是想小小的讨论一下我参加过的中国的婚礼和加拿大婚礼的区别。
First, the wedding is hosted in a Church other than a big restaurant. The photo is the cover page of the wedding booklet.
首先，婚礼在教堂而并不是在大酒店举行。图片是他们婚礼的小手册。
The wedding start from 2:00 pm, there is no complex procedure, no all sorts of pickup and send, no fooling around and tricks, all the process was serious and solemnity. The picture is the process.
婚礼从下午两点开始，没有复杂的流程，没有各种接送，抢，闹，直奔主题，庄严肃穆。图片是流程。
I am not a Christian, but I do agree with the bible "Wives, be subjected to your husband as you are to the lord." However, I can not speak for my wife, lol. Photo is the second page of the booklet, which is the quotation from the bible.
虽然我不是基督徒，不过对于经文 “你们作为妻子的，当顺从丈夫，如同顺从主。” 我还是很赞同的，就是不知道我老婆赞不赞同啦。哈哈。图片是婚礼小手册的第二页，也是一段圣经经文。
The words from the priest, this is a pretty good summary for a marriage. For the last point, become one, it depend on your own understanding, lol.
牧师的劝导，对婚姻的总结还是比较到位的。至于最后这个成为一体，就要看各位的理解了，哈哈。
The vow is very serious, not so much entertainment feeling, I think this shows people that marriage is a very holy agreement.
誓言庄重，给人的最大感觉就是没有过多的娱乐氛围，让大家明白，婚姻是一个很严肃的约定。
Well, I believe everyone is curious is the bride beautiful? I can say from my heart, she is very, just show everyone a smile under the veil.
相信大家都很好奇新娘美不美啊，哈哈。我可以很负责任的说，很美。至于有多美，就给大家一个头纱下的微笑把。
At last, some desert, no drinking and no messing.
最后是一点甜点，没有喝酒没有混乱。
Summary, this wedding is the most sweet wedding I've ever been though, even I did not really agree with the religion part, all the others are pure beautiful and sincere. Compare with the Chinese wedding which is a little too entertainment, the church wedding have less activity and more solemn silence. I personally enjoy this feeling of pureness. This wedding makes me feel like want to hold my wedding again, lol. Anyway, my sincerely blessing to the new couple, and hope they can accompany with each other until forever.
总结，这是我参加过的最有感觉的一次婚礼，除了我不太相信的宗教部分，一切都是唯美，认真的。相对于国内更偏娱乐的婚礼，少了一些热闹多了一些肃静。我个人更喜欢这种纯粹的感觉。感受了这个婚礼让我自己都有再办一次婚礼的冲动了，哈哈。最后祝新人白首偕老啦。
a wonderful wedding.
This wedding does not cost a large amount of money, but it is very beautiful for me.
Compared to Chinese weddings, western weddings (or at least in Canada) split the ceremony and the reception into two parts. Like you said, the ceremony is very serious but happy. Afterwards, the reception or party happens. That's when there is dancing, games, food, and drink.
I noticed when I went to a wedding in China, the reception and the ceremony is mixed together. I also noticed that the dress wasn't as formal as I was used to. Many people dressed very casual. I liked seeing the bride change into her red dresses though. She actually had 4 wedding dresses in all.
You have a good understanding about the difference. I did not see that much Canadian ones, but I saw a lot of Chinese weddings. It is even a little better now, some time before the Chinese wedding was too much for the food and drink than for the ceremony.
Simple and sweet wedding ceremony @shenchensucc!
Glad to read back from you my friend! In my country also, the wedding ceremonies are so long and very noisy, this one looks very pure one!
Congrats to the newly wed couple!
Thank you

那趁还单身，想干点什么就干什么——只要不违法犯罪。
That's very nice.
Thanks, it is.
和中式的相差蛮大的，中国人喜欢热闹的。
想问下，婚礼和葬礼都是在教堂举行的吗？
葬礼没参加过，应该都可以在教堂，婚礼可以选个山清水秀的小庄园，葬礼也可以在墓地。
是的，我参加过一次葬礼，在教堂。参见：特殊的葬礼——也是我参加过的唯一一次西式教堂葬礼
还没参加过西式婚礼
有机会的，我参加的这个比较有感觉。
Love church
Me too.
You got my vote and a resteem :)
Thank you so much for your support.
我也觉得婚礼的神圣感更重要
我老家河南，有些地方结婚风俗略恶劣，哈哈。破坏了好多婚礼的美感。
