chinese american wedding?

Answer
Use red as a feature colour in the wedding. (Red is lucky!)
Perform a traditional tea ceremony. This can be something private with family members; you needn't include the other guests.
Before the wedding, have your fiance come to walk you to the ceremony site. Have your bridesmaids meet him and his groomsmen at the door, and make him play games. (He should have to answer quiz questions about you, wear silly outfits, do silly dances/stunts, etc. Then your girls should demand packets of lucky money from him and the groomsmen before they will allow him to escort you to the wedding.)
Wear the traditional white wedding dress for the ceremony (which will probably be more Western) and then change into a more traditional Chinese wedding outfit for the reception.
Play some of the Chinese newlywed games during/after the reception.
Decorate with double-happiness symbols. Incorporate dragons and phoenices into the decor (they symbolize the groom and bride, respectively).
Make sure that no matter what, you RESPECT the Chinese traditions - don't go overboard with paper umbrellas, lanterns, etc. I have seen way too many reality bridal shows where a bride decides to have a "Chinese wedding" and everything looks cheap, cheesy, and a mockery of the beautiful/fun traditions of the Chinese heritage. When in doubt, consult your fiance's mother to keep things tasteful. (Obviously wait until you're officially engaged to be married before broaching the subject..!)
Have fun!
