5. 现在中国的结婚仪式怎么样？
Many wedding ceremonies in China are similar except the ones in the ethnic groups. The common procedure is like this： The newly wed couple usually has to tell the guests how they fell in love and got married. Afterwards,they will exchange rings、and gifts. Some funny games will be played in the ceremony to add a festive atmosphere for the wedding. Finally, all people will have a banquet in a hall. Most of the weddings in China follow the above procedure.
除了少数民族，多数中国的结婚仪式都大同小异。婚礼的一般程序是这样的：新婚夫妇通常要告诉客人他们是怎么相爱和步入婚姻殿堂的；然后，他们互换戒指和礼物；在仪式上还会进行一些有趣的游戏为婚礼增添喜庆气氛；最后，在礼堂里宴请所有来宾。中国大多数的结婚典礼都是按着以上步骤进行的。
