Can we have a wedding because of the epidemic?

During the epidemic, wedding banquets are prohibited in high-risk areas. The epidemic situation in these areas is not completely stable, and new suspected or confirmed cases are reported every day. Therefore, residents in these areas are all observing at home, and are not allowed to go out and walk, let alone hold wedding banquets.

Wedding banquets can be held in some areas. China is now the country with the best epidemic control, and our country is basically stable. The initial ban on "no gathering activities" was gradually relaxed.

The wedding, one of the five rituals in life, is a traditional ceremony, which is equivalent to the legal notarization ceremony of modern weddings. Its significance lies in gaining social recognition and blessing, helping newlyweds adapt to new social roles and requirements, and preparing to assume social responsibilities.

All nations and countries have their traditional wedding ceremonies, which are a way to inherit their folk culture and a ceremony of their own national culture and education. Wedding is also an important milestone in a person's life and belongs to a kind of life etiquette. The oldest, longest-lasting and most influential weddings in the world are those of Confucianism, Hinduism and Christianity, that is, the weddings of the three major civilizations.

In most cultures, there are usually some traditions and customs of marriage, many of which have lost their original symbolic significance in modern society and gradually evolved into secular weddings.
