Which side of the groom should the bride stand on during the ceremony? Find out

After consulting a lot of information, I finally found the correct answer.

The answer is that it doesn’t matter which side of the groom you should stand on at the wedding. What matters is the demeanor and image of the couple at the wedding, which is what we ordinary people call essence, spirit, and spirit. Moreover, the arrangements for Chinese weddings and Western weddings are not exactly the same.

In Western weddings, the bride always stands to the left of the groom. Chinese weddings are just the opposite.

In ancient times, Anglo-Saxon (ancestors of the British) grooms often had to stand up to protect their brides from being forcibly taken away. Moreover, the human heart is on the left side. A man should protect his bride as much as he protects his own heart. During the wedding, the groom asks the bride to stand on his left side. Once the enemy appears, he can immediately pull out the sword in his left hand. Heroically repel the enemy and protect your bride, so the bride wearing a wedding dress (of course it is a Western-style wedding) should stand to the left of the groom. The Chinese people have always respected men and women since ancient times, and the left is the top (there are records of the virtual left in ancient texts), so it is just the opposite, that is, men are on the left and women are on the right.

Garden-style weddings in Shandong (Zibo) area (the kind held at the door of the home) are generally Chinese-style weddings, while those held in hotels are Western-style weddings. To be more serious, many courtyard weddings cannot be completely called Chinese weddings, because many couples are also dressed in Western wedding dresses. We can only say that they are a combination of Chinese and Western styles, more Chinese or more Western, etc. Therefore, the wedding style you choose will determine your standing position, but the most important thing is that you must stand in a spirited, chic and harmonious way.

Now that we have talked about wedding dresses, we might as well talk about the bride’s veil.

Marsha’s fiancé saw her stunning beauty behind the lace curtains and was filled with admiration. This gave her the inspiration to wear a white veil at her wedding. In this sense, the red hijab in Chinese weddings has the same artistic conception. However, there is a more beautiful legend about using a weighing pole to pick the hijab in Chinese weddings. We will talk about this later.
