Modern Chinese Wedding

Today, most of the traditional Chinese marriage customs and rituals has either conformed to modern day standards or totally vanished. With the change in society, a lot of these obsolete traditions have been totally abandoned by modernism. Though some rural parts of China might still hold on to these traditions, most modernized and westernized cities in China have transformed these traditions to fit today's lifestyle.


In modern day China, the idea of free love is more acceptable, eliminating the idea of arranged marriage against the couple's will. Though arranged marriage is still an ongoing activity but the couple is not forced to comply if the match is not suitable, as in old China. For the most part, China today has adopted the westernized ideology of free marriage with whoever you choose to be with.
