Singapore is made up of many kinds of people. The largest groups are Chinese, Malays and Indians. Each group has its own special wedding customs.

Chinese weddings: Before the wedding, the mothers of the bride and the groom(新郎新娘) do the hair for them. The bride and the groom make tea for the groom’s parents, aunts and uncles. Then they go to the bride’s family to give gifts. After that they take some pictures. They ride in a car with red, pink and gold ribbon decoration. In the evening there is a big dinner. The women wear pink or gold dresses because those are lucky colors. The bride usually wears a red or pink dress at the dinner.

Malay weddings: Malay’s weddings last two days in the city and many days in the country. The first day is a Saturday evening. On Sunday morning, the bride and the groom meet their friends, and the friends throw yellow rice over them to wish them good luck. In the evening there is a big dinner. The friends usually take some hard-boiled eggs when they leave for home.

Indian weddings: The bride and the groom plant a tree, after that they change their clothes. Usually the groom gives the clothes to the bride and the bride puts the clothes on. The friends throw rice at the bride and the groom to wish them good luck. The friends do not wear black or white clothes. Bright colors are the best for weddings.
