Although today's marriage ceremonies in Taiwan may range from a full traditional wedding to a simple justice of the peace procedure, most contain elements of both east and west. Usually, the man goes to the woman's home to propose, at which time an engagement date is set.
從民國六十五年至七十二年之間，台灣地區每年平均結婚對數為十六萬兩千九百五十五對，如果每對新人結婚花費五萬元，則每年有八十億元的市場，不可說不誘人，所以與結婚相關的服務業如雨後春筍般地冒出。
