Sometimes, more cultural issues exist with couples who are of the SAME race. My cousin recently married, and her husband is Chinese like herself. She's from Hong Kong, he's from Malaysia. Malaysian Chinese are much, much, much more "old fashioned" than Hong Kongers and her parents and his parents had lots of issues about how the wedding should be done. For example, it's rare to see unmarried sibings participate in the tea ceremony (serving tea to the new couple) in Hong Kong and addressing them as "Sister-In-Law" and "Brother", but it's apparently still common in Malaysia. In Hong Kong, you only serve tea to those in the older generations and married siblings.)
