「前來參加的賓客們都會先到收禮桌送出贈給新人們的紅包，收禮人小心翼翼拉出紅包裡的禮金並詢問賓客是男方或女方的來賓後，在禮金簿上記下賓客姓名和禮金金額。」這是在婚宴會場常見的景象。本研究隨著紅包的流入回觀婚禮的形成，以基礎的本質來探討婚禮誕生背後的三大組成要素：經濟、家庭關係和浪漫愛情，每個要素都有其重要的意義。透過訪談近年舉辦完婚禮的新人，可發現近代的婚禮是由經濟、家庭關係和浪漫愛情三大要素共同存在方得以形成，與過去的婚禮著重在經濟和家庭關係二大要素有別。結婚是人生大事，無論是對雙親或是新人。在過去，置辦婚禮多是父母出錢和決定，當浪漫愛情相關產業出現，讓新人想在置辦婚禮上有主導權，進而削弱了雙親在婚禮置辦上的權利，然而，消費浪漫愛情相關產業的花費之大，讓新人得設法找到金援，這時紅包的收入必不可忽略，其次，雙親也是最穩固的靠山。浪漫愛情的出現削弱了經濟和家庭關係間的作用，造成世代間關係的弱化，轉而鞏固小家庭或二人世界的建立。

"The guest heads to guestbook table and gives the red envelope to the recipient. The recipient carefully pulls out part of the cash from the red envelope and counts the amount; then asks whether the guest is the guest of the groom or the bride, and write down the guest’s name and the amount of cash gift in the gift book." This is a common sight we can see in wedding banquet halls. With the inflow of red envelopes, this study looks back at the formation of weddings, and explores the three major elements behind the birth of weddings based on the essence of the basics: economy, family relationships and romantic love, each of which has its own significance. Through interviews with newlyweds who have held weddings in recent years, it can be found that modern weddings are formed by the coexistence of three major elements of economy, family relationship and romantic love. Getting married is a major event in life, whether it''s for the newlyweds’ parents or the newlyweds themselves. In the past, most of the weddings were paid and decided by the parents. When the romantic love-related industries bloomed, the couple wanted to have the dominance in the wedding planning, thus weakening the parents'' rights in the wedding planning. However, the consumption of the romantic love-related industries is so large that the couple have to find more financial support. At this time, firstly, the money from the red envelopes must not be ignored. Secondly, the parents are also the most powerful financial backing. The emergence of romantic love weakens the connection between economic and family, resulting in the weakening of intergenerational connection, which in turn consolidates the establishment of nuclear families or the romantic relationships.
