Customer Reviews

Good overall view of Asian-American wedding customs

Gives equal time to different ethnicities, and points out that the rituals and customs described are generalizations, and that customs vary from region to region. Focuses more on 1st-generation Asian-Americans, but is still useful to a 3rd-gen. Chinese-American like me. The legends, folklore, and poetry sprinkled thru-out the book are beautiful and very touching. Could use a bit more detail in places, but this book is a great place to start investigating Asian wedding traditions.
