[wedding quiz] what do you know of matrimony



Are you wed-savvy?

1. A gimme to start with. A Cheongsam or Hanfu is which country's traditional formal wedding wear?

2. What colour is a morning suit?

3. After 7 p.m., what is the dress referred to as?

4. In North America, the bride wears two garters; one as a keepsake garter and the other for the throw away. Both garters are worn on which leg, just above the knee?

5. An Old English custom was while the bride and groom were in their bridal chamber, the wedding guests would sneak into the chamber picking up discarded .... [?] and throwing them at the couple.

[Thanks Wiki and Wedalert]

Actually, come to think about it, I don't fancy anyone coming into our chamber at critical moments. Each to his or her own, I suppose.

Answer

China, solid grey, white tie, right leg, stockings
