Chinese marriage is a ceremonial ritual within Chinese societies which is established by the pre-arrangement between families. In Chinese culture love marriages are allowed.  In some of Chinese traditions people in primitive societies didn’t marry, but had sexual relationship with one indiscriminately.  In Chinese society males should not marry females of the same surname.  This is seen as incest.

A Chinese marriage initiated by a series of three letters.

1)      A formal request letter is sent from groom’s family to bride’s family.

2)      A gift letter sent to groom’s family to the bride’s family shortly before the wedding.

3)      The wedding letter is given to bride’s family officially accepting the bride into the groom’s family.
