The article explores the importance of being a culturally sensitive wedding guest, particularly in Asian weddings. It highlights the author’s journey of learning about traditions, attire, and etiquette during AAPI Heritage Month, emphasizing the significance behind various customs. By engaging with members of the Asian diaspora, the author gathers diverse insights that underscore the richness of these celebrations. The intent is to promote respect and mindfulness over a superficial checklist of rules, fostering deeper connections and understanding of these cultural practices.
"These celebrations carry deep cultural significance, and there's beauty in taking the time to learn the 'why' behind the 'what.'"
"Rather than offering a checklist of dos and don'ts, my goal is to share personal insights from people who have either gotten married within these traditions or grown up attending weddings that reflect them."
