The wedding customs are various in different places in China. Here's a traditional and typical wedding in the northeast China.
In the morning the groom(新郎)and his groomsmen take cars to the bride's house to meet the bride. Before they enter the room, they have to stand outside the door and answer the questions which the bridesmaids(伴娘) ask. If the groom gets the wrong answers, he has to sing or say some silly words as the punishment(惩罚). After he passes the tests, he must carry the bride in his arms out of the house towards the wedding car waiting outside. Then the wedding car and other cars carrying guests go to the restaurant where the wedding will be held.
At the wedding, the bride and the groom bow(鞠躬) to their parents and the guests. Then the new couple(夫妇) bow to each other and exchange the wedding presents—the ring for the bride and the watch for the groom.
After the wedding ceremony(仪式), the bride's and the groom's parents offer a meal to the guests. There are usually twenty tables or more. There are all kinds of delicious food. The new couple will toast(敬酒) the guests from a table to another. The bride usually changes gowns(女礼服) two or three times during the reception(接待). One is a white or red western wedding dress, another is a red traditional wedding dress. I'm sure it's amazing for a foreigner!

（1）This wedding happens in the northwest China.
（2）The groom drives a car to meet the bride on the wedding day.
（3）The bridesmaids and groomsmen toast the guests from a table to another.
（4）The bride and the groom exchange presents at the wedding.

Weekends are short. They are only two days out of a seven-day week. To make your weekends look longer, you need to plan it better. Here are some ideas.

★Get up at your usual time. The biggest mistake(错误) is to think that the weekend is a good chance(机会) for getting up late. So getting up early can make you feel the weekends are longer.

★Finish homework as early as possible. Nobody wants to do homework, but we have to do it. The earlier you do it at the weekend, the better you will feel. You can do homework from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a. m. on Saturday morning. After doing your homework , you can plan your weekends well.

★Go out to enjoy weekends. Weekends feel longer if you get out and enjoy them. Think about what you like to do. Plan a sports activity, for example, playing football in the park. You can also plan to go to a museum, a zoo, or a park.
