Bridging Cultures With Food: Global Culinary Wedding Traditions

Chinese wedding banquets consist of eight courses, each signifying good fortune for the couple. Peking duck often makes an appearance, not only because of its red color (which symbolizes happiness), but also because ducks mate for life. It is often served alongside a chicken dish to represent the balance between the couple in their new relationship. The whole bird (including head and feet) is served with the dish to signify completeness.
