Abstract

This paper examines the influential factors of the differences between Chinese and American wedding cultures. Two online websites world-wedding-traditions and dazhongdianping because of their detailed records of wedding components are analyzed as evidences of wedding traditions in each country. Under the cultural construction theory, the term “wedding” is reconceptualized and deconstructed into wedding procedures, decorations, wedding dress, banquets, atmosphere, and rituals to interpret the difference between Chinese and American wedding cultures.
