7、Who give gifts?vDo guests give speeches at the reception?v在日本，葬礼时会为死者穿上白色衣物，这含有祈祷灵魂不致迷失彷徨之意；白色原本即属吊唁之色。同理，据称新娘之所以穿著白无垢，是带有切莫出而又返的祈愿所致。v然因这个由来实在不怎麼讨喜，所以如今最普遍常见的说法，多半还是穿凿附会摘引西洋婚礼对白色的诠释，将白无垢强解为纯洁无瑕之意。此外，白无垢搭配的白色棉帽角隠也有特别意义。过去据信女性的长发附有灵体，且恐女子因嫉妒发狂，头上长角成鬼，所以刻意以白色棉帽遮蔽以祈驱邪避凶。v这也就是说，白无垢并不是真的那样无垢，它的纯白下头包裹著复杂的
8、人性恐惧、纠缠的社会权力与失衡的性别关系。白无垢是一层洁白的纱布，它遮蔽但不纠正，当然也不进行治愈。白无垢是一种人为的神话，它并不是真的那样无垢无泥。v古来称新娘和式嫁衣为“白无垢”；三天后的阳式仪式，则改换花枝招展的艳装。为此，时至今日，出席婚礼的女性，也忌着纯白色的和服或裙装。v日本传统婚礼仪式大致分为神前式，教会式，佛前式，人前式四种。v神前式结婚仪式起始于日本室町时代，是当时武官家庭最为盛行的一种结婚典礼。礼节较为繁多，婚礼上男女双方需通过339次交杯酒来盟誓相爱一生，白头偕老！因此整个婚礼上最为重要的一道程序那便是喝这339杯交杯酒了！客人给新郎倒酒时，每杯酒必须分三次喝光。然后再互
9、相交换酒杯，给双方倒酒。整个婚宴上，就这样不停的相互敬酒，而整个喝交杯酒的过程则意味着男女双方喜结良缘的过程！v佛前式婚礼上，男女双方在佛像面前宣读婚约，向祖先报告两人结为百年之好，相守一生。婚礼上还把一种叫纸垂的白色纸剪成又细又薄的纸条，然后把台他缠在 BICIGI树枝上，这是一种传统的风俗，意味着把已故的亲人的魂招回来，永保平安！在婚礼上进行玉串奉奠仪式时，必须由和男女双方血缘亲近的人主持！v人前式婚礼是在一种特定的神面前举行，不用受男女双方家庭宗教信仰的约束，而只是在亲戚， 朋友面前签定一个结婚合约书就行了！然后一起大声朗读婚约书，宣读自己对对方的爱，整个过程仅需10到15分钟。v教会式
10、婚礼根据教派的不同而又分为几种。 原则上本来只有信徒才能在教堂举行婚礼， 特别是天主教派对这要求更为严格！但最近以来，即使不是信徒， 只要在教堂里接受简单的培训也可和信徒一样在庄严的气氛中， 走进神圣的教堂和心爱的人约定终身。vRight aftervShrinevAfterwardvReceptionvGive speeches& sing songsvThe bride and groomAdverbial clauses of timevBefore, when,& afterBefore two people get married, they plan the wedding.
