Wedding madness
Weddings are a complicated issue for me. I’ve never been really able to relate to the Israeli weddings I’ve been to and the ceremony that surrounded them. I guess what bothered me the most was that I didn’t find those weddings magical anymore, as every wedding seemed to be an exact duplicate of the other and we all know that the process to arrange a such a wedding is exhausting and overpriced. It’s just mad.
So, one might say that I’ve been looking for an alternate wedding model for the Israeli weddings that I’ve grown accustomed to and the Christian style that I’ve seen in all the movies. Although I’ve attended a gorgeous country-side Vietnamese wedding, I’m still waiting for my first Chinese wedding, which is why I I’m thrilled at having a chance to see what they’re about.
The first neat flick I saw about Chinese weddings was from Ryan’s wonderful VBlog up on "Adventures of the Humanaught" :

Just so you can compare, here’s a funny flick from an Israeli satire show about how horrible Israeli weddings can get. Although in Hebrew and somewhat extreme, it does convey - in my humble opinion - some of the hectic atmosphere in a typical Israeli wedding :
