Traditional Wedding in my Country

In my country Cambodia the wedding is at home. A woman can get married at age 18 and a man can get married at age 21. A groom pays more money for the wedding than a bride. They put ring on the ring finger. Groom wears a suit and a bride wears white dress. They have a lot of food for the wedding like steak, chicken, shrimp, fish, pork and dessert. There are many superstitions for wedding. They have cake, fruit, Beer to drink and eat and after that they dance. For gifts people give money. The bride never takes her husband’s family name. After they are married, the bride and the groom go to live in a different city and some live with their parents. Most wives stay at home and cook and take care of children. In my country people get divorced about 30% of the time.
