American marriage
• However, this statistic is misleading， many people, such as Elizabeth Taylor or Todd Fisher marry repeatedly but threequarters of Americans who marry for the first time stay that way. The others go through several spouses before settling down and approximately 10% of men and 5% of women never marry at all.
• 不过，这一数据是一种误导，有许多人，诸如伊 丽莎白•泰勒和托德费•希尔结过多次婚。但是3∕4 的美国人却是结第一次婚之后从一而终。其余的 人则要经历数个配偶之后才能固定下来。大概有 10%的男性和5%的女性终生不婚。

美国婚礼习俗
美国婚礼习俗第一篇：美国婚礼习俗1.Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue.最近的Grey's Anatomy實習醫生第五季完結篇就有提到，還記得Meredith和Cristina站在櫃檯邊，Cristina拿出他的N 次貼，說:“Okay,this is my grocery list.It's old.” 撕了一張起來後就把剩下的拿給Meredith(something new)，再拿出一支筆“Um,this is my favorite pen,so I want it back.Borrowed.” 然後全部都是藍色的“And all of it's blue, so you're covered.” 這個說法源自維多利亞時代，習俗是新娘走上紅毯的時候，一定要有這四樣東西，代表祝福與好運，通常由伴娘幫忙凖備。
(1)Something Old代表一種與新娘娘家的連結，通常都是母親、外婆、甚至可以是遠房親屬的東西。
有些新娘會直接穿媽媽的婚紗，就代表Something Old了。
有時候也可以是手帕、圍巾、項鍊等。
另外，舊的東西同時也可以是借來的東西。
(2)Something New 代表對未來的希望，通常為了婚禮買的東西都算是Something New，手上的花束、婚戒都可以。
(3)Something Borrowed 代表不管未來有什麼困難，新娘的好友及家屬都會支持著她。
借的東西(習俗上)要來自另一個婚姻幸福的已婚婦女，而且婚禮結束後一定得歸還的東西。
(4)Something Blue穿戴一件藍色服飾源自《聖經》時代，當時藍色結婚禮服代表著純潔、忠誠和愛情。
Something Blue可以是頭飾，但是現在最常見的就是一種藍色的吊襪帶blue garter 2.Before the wedding, the bridegroom mustn't see the bride's dress.這個習俗是我在One Tree Hill籃球的天空裡注意到的。

Individual Freedom and Equality in the Family

1.The American Marriage Type
• Wedding cakes are not just dessert to be served to guests during reception. The wedding cake is cut together by the couple during the wedding reception. Then the husband and wife exchange bites of the cake. This is the first act the couple does together as husband and wife.
• The wedding dress nowadays is usually believed to have to be white or ivory, as this symbolizes purity. This is a newer superstition because white was started to be worn as a wedding dress only during the Victorian age. And that time, white was worn as an announcement of affluence because white dresses then will only be worn once.
