Tibetan style wedding ceremony

The weekend were days of good luck in the Tibetan calendar. A Tibetan couple, bridegroom Tenzin Norbu and bride Tosan, held a Tibetan style wedding ceremony in the blessing of relatives and friends in Lhasa.

Relatives of bridegroom Tenzin Norbu attend the wedding ceremony in Lhasa, capital of Tibet.

 
Tenzin Norbu is the youngest son of Dando. The old man was quite excited on the ceremony as the marriages of children symbolize the prosperity of families in the traditional Tibetan concept.

"When I got married some 30 years ago, the wedding ceremony lasted ten days. But now, young couples tend to hold their wedding ceremonies during weekends for the convenience of relatives and friends. Some old customs are abandoned, but those presenting fortune and happiness should be inherited from generation to generation." Dando said in earnest.

Nowadays, wedding ceremonies for young couples in Lhasa are mostly combined with traditional Tibetan customs and modern living concepts. Some customs are kept, such as offering hada, a white silk scarf symbolizing respect and blessing, to newly married couples and their parents, drinking highland barley wine and throwing the powder of Tsampa in the sky; while some modern concepts are adopted, like buffet meals in hotels and restaurants and non-mandatory Tibetan dresses for guests.
