• Firecrackers For Wedding

Chinese use firecrackers to scare away evil spirits who may want to cause problems later.  Before the couple crosses the threshold during the recessional, long chains of firecrackers suspended on a stick are lit for several minutes. Evening weddings feature noisy, full-scale firework displays as part of the festivities.
