American Wedding and Philippine wedding comparison

Wedding style in America is far different from the Philippine wedding. In the Philippines, the groom's family will be responsible for almost all the expenses for the wedding. I was surprised when I knew that here in America, the parents of the bride are the ones responsible for everything and that the groom's parents have nothing to worry about the expense. Wow!! that is very opposite from my country.

Another thing I observed was that most wedding in America, are very simple compared to the Philippine wedding. Decorations are simple there are some that no decorations at all but in the Philippine wedding? decorations everywhere, flowers, with big backdrop in the stage. Participants are only very limited into one or two in American wedding? Reception is just simple for most weddings in US. But in the Philippines? Oh my!!! You can see the wedding party on both sides in great and colorful attire from the kids to the old. hahaha Not only that!! the wedding participants are many. Some have 4 little flower girls, some have little bride and little groom, they have bible bearer, and covenant bearer. They will have 4 bride's maids and 4 groom's men. Wow!! Plus the maid of honor and the best man. Can you imagine how many people Will be marching the isle? Not only that!! they also have principal sponsors in 16-20 pairs the most. It makes the ceremony too long.

hahah you can just imagine how many people will be served during the reception? Plus all the invited guests who sometimes bring another uninvited guest. It is very stressful to the host of the wedding party. They usually serve a big dinner when there is a wedding in the Philippines. But in America? oh!! just cake plus fruit punch and vegetable salad, is enough for them to eat after the wedding ceremony. Wow!!! what a big difference. Well, there are others also who serve big dinner on their wedding but it is really different from the Philippines. Anyway, I like to attend both. hahaha.
