What Do We Know?We both know that there are many different types of wedding ceremonies. They vary in every culture. Also we know there are some cultures that do not even get married that are just together after a certain period of time. We know that in christian weddings the groom wears a black suite and the bride wears a white dress. There is a best man and a maid of honor. The groom can not see the bride until they are under the alter. The bride walks down the aisle with a family member of some sort. What did we learn?We learned many things for this passion time project. For example, when we looked up all of the different types of traditions for the weddings we learned that all weddings are different. When we were looking at all of the different pictures we found all of the different colors and different types of things at the weddings. We also found out that many traditions have meanings to them, most of them being things that would benefit the marriage. For example, the groom crushes a glass, which represents crushing all bad feelings about the marriage. I also learned how to make website pages look appealing by adding bold text and nice pictures. | What Do We Want To Know?We want to know what weddings look like in other cultures, especially the cultures we don't know really well. These include African, Hindu, Japanese, Chinese, German, and Spanish/Latin-American weddings. We also want to know why these ceremonies are the way they are. Giuliana wants to learn how to make a website, what to put on it, and how to make them look nice. What action did we take?The action we took was we made a website to show what the different weddings look like and how they are performed. We also made a trello card explaining what we are doing. | How will I learn this information?We will look on the internet and try to compare our own situations through weddings and see how they are different compared to the other culture weddings. What questions do we still have?We still wonder what some other weddings look like in other cultures. What colors at used most in certain weddings? |
Cassidy refection:
I really liked this project a lot. When we picked this project I knew that I defiantly would love to do this project. Some things that were difficult during this project were when we couldn't find out what to research, when we couldn't find which weddings to do, and when we had to squeeze in the last wedding that we did. When we couldn't find out what to research we were try and trying to find the perfect website we eventually found close to the perfect website. When we find which weddings to do we were in the middle of 8 periods left and couldn't decide between Chinese, African, and Italian this part of the time was hard but not as hard as when we had to squeeze everything in into the deadline. When we had to do that we were trying so hard to finish on time. Even though all of these things were hard we got through them. When we were doing this project there were ups too! For example, when me and my partner Giuliana found out all of the thing we were going to research. Also, when we were shooting our videos and we were asking each other if everything is good and goign well. Overall I really liked my partner and this project!

Giuliana's Reflection:
I personally loved this project. First of all, Cassidy is a very reliable, fun partner. I couldn’t have done it without her. Also, I got to learn about a very special, fun day: The wedding day. It was awesome to see how similar weddings are throughout cultures, no matter how far apart they are. Even though there were so many complications, like not enough time to finish things and no pictures of what we were looking for, we finished with a strong, informational website.
