Mark(s) The teacher’s comments

Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions below. (2.0 ms)
In many countries, it is customary 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.
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.
In many cultures, couples exchange rings, usually made of gold or silver, during the marriage ceremony. The
circular shape of the ring is symbolic of the couple’s eternal union. In Brazil, it is traditional to have the rings
engraved, with the bride’s name on the groom’s ring, and vice versa.
Many wedding customs that originated in one part of the world have been incorporated into marriage ceremonies


in other countries. Today, couples can choose from many of the world’s traditional customs to create their own
special ceremony.
