Blog Entry 7: Marriage Traditions
In Taiwan, when you are pregnant on the day of marriage. You must hold the black umbrella. In contrast if you not pregnant just hold red umbrella in you marriage day. This history of this tradition is very long in Taiwan. Unmarried pregnancies are not encouraged in my country, because when you are unmarried it means you are not ready for you future. But in the 21st century the immediate significance of the change. When the bride supports the black umbrella on behalf of you to be more careful. Because she is pregnant. However,if you see the bride hold black umbrella, you'd better stay away from that.

That's a interesting tradition!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe, my country also don't like an unmarried pregnant.
This tradition contrasts with Japan. My country don't like.
ReplyDeleteMost Japanese think that it's not pure love.
Interesting, I've never heard of that. I don't think it would work in Canada...most women would prefer not to broadcast the fact that they're pregnant!
