Wedding Customs
결혼 풍습

Marriage is an ancient religious and legal practice celebrated around the world.
Although the reasons that people marry are similar in many places, wedding customs vary from country for the bride to wear a white dress as a symbol of purity.
In traditional Japanese wedding ceremonies, the bride wears a white kimono.
The tradition of wearing a special white dress only for the wedding ceremony started around 150 years ago.

Before that, most women could not afford to buy a dress that they would only wear once. Now, bridal dresses can be bought in a variety of styles and fabrics, and many brides have their dress specially made.

결혼은 고대부터 전해온 종교적,법률적,전세계적인 관습이다.
결혼을 하는 이유는 어디에서나 엇비슷하겠지만, 순결의 상징으로 신부가 순백색의 드레스를 입는 등의 관습은 나라마다 다르게 마련이다.
전통 일본 결혼식에서는, 신부는 백색의 기모노를 입는다.
결혼식만을 위해 특별히 제작된 흰색 드레스를 입는 관습의 유래는 150년 정도밖에 되지 않았다.

그 이전에는, 대부분의 여성들은 일생에 한번만 입기 위한 옷을 마련할 처지가 되지 못했었다. 오늘날에는 대부분의 여성들이 다양한 스타일과 원단으로 특별히 제작된 드레스를 갖춰 입는다.

In different countries, colors other than white are worn by the bride or used as part of the wedding ceremony. In certain Asian countries and in the Middle East, red and orange are considered symbols of joy and happiness.
In Chinese cultures, wedding invitations are usually red and gold as these are colors symbolic of wealth and happiness.
Wedding guests give gifts of money to the newlyweds in small red envelopes.
Not all cultures, though, consider money a suitable gift.
In many western countries, especially the U.K., wedding guests give the bride and groom household items that they may need for their new home.
