A wedding ceremony would definitely be something that is very exciting to go to for some people while some other people might think that it is indeed so tiring to attend to one. Nevertheless, a wedding ceremony always is going to be a ceremony that could bring people together especially family members. Another interesting fact would be that different places or different cultures would have their own unique wedding ceremony that they have to experience.
One of the wedding ceremonies that could be quite different from the usual ones that we have always been seen in Malaysia is a wedding ceremony that people celebrate in the United States of America. To know more about it, a TikTok user that goes by the name ‘Jai‘ has shared how the wedding ceremony that people in the USA go through.

In the posted video, he mentioned that he and also his wife had a wedding ceremony that they needed to attend. For the outfit, the man could wear a shirt and slack trousers while the woman could wear a dress to go to the wedding. As a matter of fact, any type of clothing could be worn as long as they look decent and suit the theme of the wedding. There are two different parts of weddings in the USA. The first one is the ceremony and the second is the reception.
Ceremony
Easily said, the ceremony part is actually the same as the solemnization that the Malay weddings have in Malaysia. It is functioned to be a symbol to legalize the marriage between the man and the woman. The couple would exchange their vows to each other and also put the wedding rings on their fingers. Between each part, there would be time for the guests to have a rest before the next part begins. At this time also, the married couple would use it wisely to take some wedding photoshoots for their memories.
Reception
The married couple, bridesmaids, and also the groomsmen would enter back into the hall during the reception. To compare it easily, the reception part is the same as the typical wedding ceremony that Malay weddings have in this country. This is the time when the guests would have the time to eat all of the delicious heavy food. There would usually serve vegetarian options for the guests that could not eat meat. During the reception, there is also going to be a time when the parents of the married couple give a speech and then they would proceed to their ‘First Dance’. Next, the couple is going to cut the wedding cake, and then all the guests would dance the night away.
