What does a wedding in the countryside mean?

Wedding is an indispensable part of rural culture. In rural areas, weddings are regarded as family events. A grand wedding not only inherits the traditional customs of the family, but also shows the cultural heritage of the countryside. Usually, at a wedding, family and friends get together to share this festive moment. In the wedding, ceremonies and entertainment activities are intertwined, including singing and dancing, eating, drinking and having fun. In these activities, people can feel the simple rural atmosphere and better understand the local culture.

Although rural weddings pay attention to traditional culture, there are also many modern elements. Under the background of modernization, more and more weddings begin to pay attention to individuality and innovation. For example, some couples will show their love stories in the form of music and videos. Some people will add pop elements such as punching cards and WeChat red envelopes to make the wedding more modern. However, no matter how it changes, for rural people, inheriting rural culture is always the core of the wedding.

In rural areas, weddings are also a manifestation of mutual assistance and cooperation. Villagers often help newcomers, such as providing tools, venues, food and so on. At weddings, rural villagers often attend happily and send blessings to the couple together. In addition, the wedding is also a platform for rural social communication. Many times, social activities at weddings can promote exchanges and cooperation among villagers, which implies the cohesion and mutual assistance spirit of rural society. This is also the irreplaceable value of rural weddings.
