If your parents want a traditional Japanese wedding, that's fine by me as well. So long as it's our special day, nothing matters to me.
[ His parents probably wouldn't care either because they would just be thrilled over the moon that he got married. So long as he's with Mio... the actual wedding didn't matter. ]
We have a ton of wedding traditions. When picking a date for the wedding, it's common to talk to a fortune teller or a monk to make sure it's not an auspicious date. Both families get involved in the wedding planning really early on and we pick a 'Betrothal Day' a few months before the wedding, in the which the groom leaves presents for the bride's family. There's also a tradition in which the groom's family will pick a female relative to set the newly wed's bed at their home about two or three days before the wedding. No one is allowed to sleep or sit on it until after the wedding. Brides typically wear red for the wedding since it's the color symbolizing good luck in China.
[ And that's just the tip of it. There are a lot more traditions. ]
In Hong Kong, a lot of people tend to do more Western style weddings and there are some cases where they combine Chinese wedding traditions with Western ones.
