在老外的概念里都没有这样的说法,因为他们不会有中国的传统习俗,但是一定要用英语翻译的话就按下面这样的表达,一个单词是不能概括的.有些是必须用短语甚至是句子来表达的.提亲- making proposal for sb定亲 - engagement 媒人 - matchmaker新房-bridal chamber 一般宴席的话banquet就可以了.但是这里是指婚宴所以用 wedding banquet嫁妆- a dowry(这个比较常用) a trousseau; the bottom drawer聘礼-betrothal presents花轿-a bridal sedan chair跨火盆-go cross the firing basin(在这里要跟老外解释下中国的跨火盆是什么意思,要不是直接说跨火盆他们会误会的)拜天地-the bride and birdegroom bow to the heaven and earth拜高堂-bow to your parents夫妻对拜-bow to each other敬茶-offer a cup of tea 洞房-bridal chamber 闹洞房-guests and relatives crowd in the bridal chamber to tease the new couple on their wedding night and play practical jokes on them 娘家 - home or family of a married woman's parents (网上是这样解释的)但是我认为不需要那么复杂,娘家直接表达my in-laws 就可以了.老外就明白了.我解释下In-laws的意思, 指的是与你婚姻有关的丈夫或者妻子的父母亲那方.希望能够帮到你.

西式婚礼传统：

1，钻石订婚戒

这个传统始于15世纪，当时奥地利大公麦西米伦以钻戒向玛丽许下海誓山盟。当时，他的亲信呈文献言：“殿下，在订婚时，您必须送一枚有钻石的戒指。”麦西米伦纳言。这个仪式从此流传至今，已有数世纪之久。

2，白色手套

手套是爱的信物。在中古世纪，许多绅士送手套给意中人表示求婚。如果对方在星期日上教堂时戴着那副手套，就表示她已答应他的求婚。

3，结婚习俗

古人认为左手无名指的血管直通心脏。中古世纪的新郎把婚戒轮流戴在新娘的三个手指上，以象征圣父、圣子和圣灵三位一体，最后就把戒指套在无名指上。于是左手的无名指就作为所有英语系国家传统戴婚戒的手指。
