What are the origins, customs and activities of Australian weddings?

I'm afraid it's an established tradition all over the world to get married first and then honeymoon. However, Australians nowadays like to travel before the wedding, and often bring their parents-in-law, mother-in-law and parents-in-law. Choose a good time and place for the wedding on the way. Locals call this kind of marriage a "wandering wedding". At present, Australia is at the lowest marriage rate in 100 years, and this new "wandering wedding" has injected new ideas into their marriage and love life.

When I first heard about this new thing, the reporter didn't believe it. It can be found that13 of the neighbors who lived in the same block with reporters last year chose the "wandering wedding". Not long ago, my neighbor Anna, a flight attendant, and her fiance Joseph strolled to Byron Bay for a wedding. As a result, * * * 12 friends and relatives went to join in the fun, and most of them stayed at local hotels or guest houses at their own expense. Anna was in high spirits when she talked about it: "We had a good party for four days and then held a formal ceremony on Sunday."

According to "Wandering Wedding Designer", when traveling, new people often like to find a small church on an island and ask the local priest to exchange wedding rings. If you can't find a chapel, you can go to a hill or even a boat. People who pay attention to it often regard an island like Fiji as the end of their "wandering". Invite an indigenous Fijian to be the local host. At the wedding, the bride and groom walk across the red carpet covered with rose petals. The guests are barefoot, and the female guests are wearing beautiful hibiscus flowers, which are full of island customs.

Australians like "stray weddings" because they save money and worry. At present, most of the newcomers in Australia are dual-employed, so they don't have much time to arrange weddings. Nelly, a friend of the reporter, is an employee of a magazine and recently got married. Nelly said with emotion, "You will never find such a wonderful wedding scene in Sydney. Besides, how much free time do we have to plan the wedding? Compared with traditional weddings, walking around the wedding is relatively simple, which makes us feel very casual and comfortable. " In the past, the wedding banquet list of Australians often included some distant relatives who were not familiar with or even had not seen for ten years. There was no need to draw up a long guest list for "wandering weddings". And generally speaking, guests are willing to attend, and the travel expenses are often paid by the guests themselves, which also saves the bride and groom a lot of expenses.
