  • I had weddings both in Singapore and Japan so I made this comparison video. Marriage traditions and customs can be quite different in both countries. Watch till the end to find out some of the differences!
    00:12 How to Report Engagement to In-laws
    01:10 How to do "cheers" at wedding
    01:34 Timing to get married
    02:11 Ceremony before the wedding
    04:33 Cost of Ang Bao
    05:17 Wedding Style
    06:45 Wedding Guests
    07:13 Final Thoughts
    My most memorable experience was preparing for Guo Da Li (As shown on 03:19). It's a Chinese tradition where the groom gives gifts such as pig trotters, alcohol, cash and mandarins to show respect and seek approval of marriage. In return, my parent in laws returned back some of the gifts, and also gave my wife and I golden rings. This is called Hui Li(回礼) and it's meant to share good fortune.
    Having a Shinto-style wedding (called the Shinzen-shiki 神前式) in Japan was also memorable. It's the most traditional style of wedding in Japan but ironically, most Japanese couples prefer chapel-style weddings.
    There are a lot of things I missed (like the Chinese tea-ceremony) so hopefully I can make a sequel someday! Thank you for watching. Please leave a like if you enjoyed!

    Omg the skit-like welcome from your in-laws were hilarious 😂😂 very interesting to learn the difference in marriage between Singapore and Japan..I guess it’s one of the topics that you can’t really see unless you or someone close to you gets married. Great content Ghib Ojisan!

      @kafkacommercialstudios4124 Před 3 lety +1

      "Skit like welcome" is because most Singaporeans don't even know what their cultural traditions are. It's all copied from various movies or tv shows they've seen. Gatecrashing is another example. Was first popularized by HK dramas, now Singaporeans call it a 'wedding tradition'.

    Some Malaysian Chinese still follow the tradition of the tea ceremony for the engagement. In Japan it’s different ceremony but called Yuino.
    Today many steps of these traditional ceremony are simplified in many cultures.

    At a chinese wedding, people are unlikely to give cash that has any number to do with '4'. It 's considered inauspicious as it puns with 'si' in chinese meaning death or die.

    海外の人が神前式や白無垢に憧れて適当に真似してても文句は言えませんねw
    教会での式もそれなりに決まりとか順序とか色々あるんですよね。
    人の式に何度か参加しましたが、立ったり座ったり周りの人と握手したり、訳がわからないまま周囲の人の真似をしてました。
