在美国,谈恋爱是由一对一对的年青人自由自主开始进行的。我的思想上觉得美国青年人在决定或者做他们想做的事情方面有很大的自由。青年男女双方都跟为数众多的异性约会过。他们跟异性约会时,他们的父母连知道都不知道,也插不上手来帮帮忙。事实上,我认识好几个美国朋友,他们在结婚时,甚至连自己的父母或家中其他的人都没有告诉。
At the actual wedding ceremony, the father of the bride symbolically gives his daughter to the groom. Its only a custom, I think, because the bride and groom already know each other quit well. The bride and groom stand together in front of the religious leader or government official to be married. The official reads from a short prepared speech and then asks both the man and woman if they are willing to be married to the other. If they both say yes, and nobody attending the wedding stands up to object, they are declared man and wife. It is interesting that the two families are asked if there are any objections right during the ceremony. Perhaps it is because the family members are not as involved in the wedding preparations as they are in Iran.
在真正举行婚礼时,新娘的父亲才象征性地做做样子把他的女儿交给新郎。我认为,这样做只是按风俗习惯办事而已,因为新娘和新郎互相间早已经很了解了。新娘和新郎一起站在宗教领袖或政府官员面前被宣布正式结婚。这位政府官员在宣读了一篇现成的简短演讲词以后就会问当事人的男女双方,他们是否愿意同对方成亲。 如果他们二人都回答愿意,然后参加婚礼的人中又没有人站起来反对他们结婚,那么他们就被宣布为正式夫妻了。就在举行婚礼的过程中,要征询双方的家人,有没有反对这两人结婚的意见,这实在太滑稽有趣了。也许这样做是因为这两家的家庭成员都不像在我们伊朗那样要参与婚礼的筹备工作的缘故吧。
