This is my share for chinese Wed Traditions

Before the Big Day
Before the wedding, the ritual is that a Chinese bride is isolated with her closest friends. In this custom, the bride-to-be symbolically mourns the loss of family and friends. On her wedding day, the bride is bathed in water which is infused with pomelo in order to cleanse her from bad influences.

This is an old practice. Apparently, a piece of cloth is placed on the marital bed on the wedding night. If the cloth is stained wirh blood the next morning, it's proof of the bride's virginity.
