I covered a pre-wedding party last night for a great couple: Janie and Ryan. In Chinese culture, Double Happiness means that the couple and their families would live together harmoniously if the symbol is put in their house. On the occasion of their wedding, the HAPPY character was doubled and put on a red paper. The symbol was used to mark the happiness of the event. The double happiness symbol thus attained a respectable position in Chinese art of calligraphy and is used in weddings.
Congratulations to Janie and Ryan- A wedding is a wonderful beginning…to love that lasts a lifetime. Best Wishes on Your Wedding Day.
