Japanese Culture Question(s) – Marriage/Wedding/Proposal
July 9th, 2009
I’ve been doing some research in the Japanese culture and I’m wondering if western traditions have leaked into weddings, proposals, etc.
Like, when it comes time for someone to ask for there hand in marriage, do they ever do the western tradition of getting on one knee and offering a ring? Do brides at wedding wear white gowns? Or do they follow or another tradition? If so, can you explain this to me?
Thanks. =D
