Tea plays an important role in Chinese wedding rituals including betrothal, matchmaking, doweries and entertaining guests. "In the Ming Dynasty, a bride to be had to drink tea when she accepted the offer of marriage. It was a common belief that once the seeds of a tea tree was planted, it could not be moved. Moving the tree would mean death for the plant. Thus the drinking of the tea symbolized staying true to one person throughout one’s life."
