I attended a family friend's wedding in hongkong. They were locals and it was my first time experiencing a hongkong-style wedding, though there wasn't much difference between the ones in Singapore to be honest. The groom was clearly exhausted from the wedding ceremonies and preparations in the day. He looked like he was gonna collapse any moment yet he sportingly went on stage with the bride. Then the MCs that night went on and on, and suggested they kissed from the count of 1 to 9. Well in front of everybody, they had to, plus it was part of some superstitions since 9 in chinese meant for a long time.
Well that kiss was definitely done for the sake of doing it than really meaning it. Nowadays we always do things for the sake of doing it, just cause everyone is doing it, and you're supposed to do it. Like a social norm? Thats not how its supposed to be right? Why should I do it when I don't mean it from the bottom of my heart? Whats the point of doing it then? I might as well don't do it.
