Perform the formal
wedding ceremony
In China , this part calls “baitang”. That is , in the traditional wedding ceremony , bride and bridegroom perform the marriage ceremony in which they pay homage (敬意) to heaven and earth and to the groom’s parents.
Now , they are eating dumplings together. In traditional Chinese wedding, it is a ceremony before the daughter leaves her parents to show the departure.
