soc class

We are studying marriage, dating, and family customs. Everyone in our class got a county to research today and have to do a mini oral report tomorrow. Isn't that great?! >:(

Anyway, I got China and, did you know, people are not allowed to marry unless the man is at least 22 and the woman 20? Public displays of affection are discouraged and intimate dating relationships are highly frowned upon. The bride retains her maiden name but the children recieve their father's surname. The bride has THREE wardrobe changes during the course of her wedding day. She starts out with red in the morning when her fiancee come to pick her up to go to the church and ends up in white for the main banquet at the end of the day. The guests play tricks on the new couple until they retire for the day.

Yep. They have some different customs in china. I'm really glad I live in America!!
