My friend is planning to get married in Hong Kong next year, and I've been invited to his wedding.  Both he and his fiancee are Chinese.\n\nI understand Chinese culture has a lot of beliefs surrounding lucky/unlucky colours, and I don't want to wear anything that would offend anyone.  Is there anything specific I should or should not wear?\n\nPlease keep in mind that I don't have too much money at my disposal, and as such anything too expensive would be out of the question.

I would wear a blue suit a white shirt and an attractive tie.  If you think you might have to take your shoes off (for example, if you are picking up members of the wedding party at their homes) you might want to wear dress shoes that you can slip on and off easily.

Nope.  I think your rings should be something you and your husband like.  After all, if you don't like it, you won't want to wear it.  The same goes for him.  You should be proud to show off your beautiful wedding bands, and believe me, people will ask to see them!!  \nThe important part is the symbolization that the rings hold.  They are a reminder of the commitment you and your new husband will have.  They should be a reminder that doesn't bring ANY bad thoughts to his mind or your mind!  \nRemember, even though you and your husband will be married, you're still individuals with different tastes in some things.  I feel like non-matching wedding rings remind you of your unity as a couple and your own personal uniqueness at the same time.

Congrats on yuor wedding... to be there.. \n\nYou can have fusion for the wedding. \nI am not sure what custom you are going to follow. \nIf you are going through the church type then you can do you christian style dress. \n\nDress has to be Red in colour....You can apply a bindi(red dot on yuor forehead) \n\nIn the evening for reception you can dress in the traditional way. It might be dificult for you to wear a saree if no one is ready to help. Else you can get a Chania Choli (red colour) with gold work on it. It will look nice as well. You can go for the mathcing jewellery with that  for the full set. \n\nAbout the food you can have 3-4 disshes which will be an add on for the people. I am sure the white americans will like the food too. \nSome Items like Papadums and samosas for starters\nItems like Paneer (cheese) Palak(spinach), or Navratan Korma. You can check this from the caterers or the Indian restarants as to what dish you like.. \nThis can be with the Indian breads (Rotis) \nIn sweets you can have Gulab Jamun or Kulfi (type of icecream made from boiling milk for long time)\n\nAnything more IM me.. My wedding was on their last year and I will send you the link for my wedding photos on the yahoo. \n\n\nSmile always

I am getting married in three weeks, and I would not be offended. I think as long as you do not wear solid white you would be fine. And it's the lower half and would certainly not be that obvious. I would assume also, that the bride would have more going on that day, than to really notice what color your skirt is.

Colors really don't matter that much although traditionally people wear more spring-like colors.  Be a bit more conservative in selecting a dress, nothing flashy or revealing.  This is the Bride's day, so remember that she should stand out and not you.\n\nHope this helps!

Go simple and classy - black is ALWAYS safe, and pick up some rockin' funky jewlery and let that be your focal piece. What'll make you stand out is poise, and a good attitude, not designer accessories - get your game on before you put your gear on, and you'll shine. Oh - and (as my mother would say) GLOSS - make sure you never have scabby looking lips.

Thank you very much for informing me.  I honestly did not have a clu as to why Indians wore them.  I assumed it meant that you were married, but you have given me knowledge into a deeper aspect of it.  I will respect it more now, when I see someone with that.  I appreciate your elaboration and information provided.  I think people ask a lot because they honestly don't know why.  Especially if they are not Indian, because mostly all cultures don't ever do that.

My fiance and i got the asian symbols for love and unity on our arms.  And I have Eeyore on my shoulder blade.  He has a dragon and the ying yang symbol on one shoulder and a tiger on his chest.  I have a friend who has his mothers name and portrait on his arm.  Tattoo's are very personal and no one should tell you what to put.  and remember, you are stuck with it forever.

Unless she specifically asked that no one wear white at all you should be fine.  The outfit you described doesn't sound like an outfit that would take away from a bride wearing all white.

I am from Australia\nas this country is multi-cultural; then we do not really have any fixed customs as such.\nhowever -  some things that have usually been done here are:-\n the groom & his attendants are already in place with the celebrant when the bride enters the ceremony venue being escorted by her father. the bridal attendants would precede the bride down the aisle.\nthe couples families & other guests would then often place ""good luck charms"" ( horseshoes;hearts;shoes - made from ribbons/cardboard/crocheted; & attached to a ribbon) over the arm of the bride as she & the groom walked back down the aisle.\nas the emerged from the church - the assembled guest would throw confetti over the couple ( this has been replaced by flower petals/bird seed/bubbles)\nat thestart of the reception - all the guests are assembled at their tables & the couple "announced" as they enter the room\nat the end of the reception the guests would form an arch of linked hands for the couple to walk under & every one hugs/kisses them as they leave\nask how her parents conducted their wedding.\nif you have any "australiana stores in your area you may be able to purchase things that you could use a favours or decorations\nmany brides also use the verse \n"something old; 'something new; something borrowed ; something blue; & a sixpence in your shoe: \nwhen putting their outfits together- all the items are meant for good luck \n the something old can be a grandmothers brooch pinned on or into the dress; \nmail me if I can be of further help

I think it is a good idea to avoid lust and there is nothing primitive about wearing the clothes you want to wear. Some people are ignorant and don't understand or refuse to understand people's beliefs. \n\nAs far as the getting attention thing goes here is my theory:\nDo what you think is right, but don't rub it in people's faces. Doing so makes it seem that you are doing something strictly for attention.

Wear it for the actual wedding ceremony. \n\nBring along a change of clothes for the reception. \n\nThat way you both get your way!

You're going to be wearing this ring for a long, long time, hopefully for the rest of your life, so for heaven's sake, get what you like! A good bet is to think about the jewelry you wear now, the stuff you find yourself grabbing again and again because you prefer it and it flatters you (watch, earrings, necklaces, etc.) If it's mostly yellow gold, then that's probably what you should choose in a wedding ring.\n\nAnd, no, there's no reason in the world that your two rings need to match. You are two different people, with two different styles, which is a great thing, and should be celebrated. (by the way, my fiancee chose an antique styled yellow gold band, and I chose a more modern styled white gold one. we have the same psalm inscribed in our rings, which unites our two very different styled rings.)\n\nGood luck, and congrats!

Don't let the fact that it's being hosted by the Air Force scare you...chances are the other "dates" there will dress just as they would for any other semi-formal party. Just dress nice and comfortably. He'll be in his blues, so he will look nice, I would dress accordingly. A nice simple dress would be fine, as would a dressy top and nice pants. I wouldn't recommend trashing it up, but that's just me. I've seen young women go to these events in little outfits and no one said anything. It all just comes down to your personal tastes.

one dress the whole wedding / reception .... find out what color his tie will be and go with a dress in that color or you can wear any winter color ... try and stay away from black and definitely stay away from white .... but look nice and knock his socks off ...taking you to the wedding is a huge deal for him and your relationship!!
