Marriage

Wherever in the world you reside, marriage is always one of the most special and precious parts of an individuals life. It represents a promise, that is supported by a collection of memories and built up on a foundation made of trust and love. In Western countries such as the US and Australia, the process can sometimes be a little different too that of Asian countries. In some Asian countries such as China, traditionally many married couples will not have met each other until their wedding day. Of course too many Western societies this particular idea may seem very alien, as usually in countries like the US getting too the level of marriage takes a few more steps. In saying this, many Asian families wish to take a more Western approach too marriage by choosing their partners. At the end of the day, no matter the cultural differences, we should strive to respect and allow people to do what makes them happy.
