出门时的一把红伞
新娘离家时由人撑起红伞,是部分华人婚礼中可见的画面。伞跟着脚步从家门走向婚车,也让出门这一刻有了鲜明的仪式感。各家对这个细节可能有不同讲法,有人保留,有人简化。翻看婚礼照片时,伞下的新人与身旁相送的人,也常会成为值得慢慢看的部分。
The red umbrella at the doorway
In some Chinese weddings, someone holds a red umbrella as the bride leaves home. Moving from the doorway towards the wedding car, it gives the departure a recognisable ceremonial detail. Families may explain or observe it differently. In photographs, the people accompanying the bride can be as memorable as the umbrella itself.
