"Traditional Taiwanese Wedding" vs. "21st-century Taiwanese wedding

I was excited to attend two cousins' wedding banquets today, one for lunch (dad's side of cousin), and one for dinner (mom's side of cousin). Both diverged from the "traditional wedding banquet" (pandoh in pei-oe-ji Taiwanese hoklo) that I remember from childhood. Elements of "Western" influences were prominent.

In the "traditional banquet," my favorite banquet food- lobster on top of sliced cabbage with mayonnaise on top- was always one of the first dishes. The groom would have to drink alcohol from the bride's shoes. Pandoh is traditionally taken place outdoors, under set-up tents.

In these "21st-century wedding" that take place in hotels and banquet halls, banquet menu is still dominated by seafood, but my favorite lobster dish is not present. I heard that these dishes are also different from the "traditional banquet."

Western influences on the "21st-century wedding":
1. Slide-show of the couple- their childhood to adulthood, and how the couple met.
2. Toast to all guests at the beginning of the banquet- although this toast is given by a professional wedding host, with a generic congratulations speech.
3. Bouquet tossing for single ladies
4. Instead of garter tossing, broccoli tossing for single men is the trend in Taiwan. I need to look up what broccoli means because none of my cousins knows.
5. Introduction of the wedding party, and the newlyweds. Because the wedding ceremony is not open to all guests, the "father-giving-away-the-daughter" gesture is performed at the banquet. The groom stands in the middle of the hall while the bride walks arm-in-arm with her father. Her father places her hands in the groom's hands, and said words (of wisdom?) to the groom before letting them go.
6. Chairs are decorated with those chair covers seen in the U.S.
7. "Wedding favors"- limited numbers of wedding favors are passed to guests who must "grab" them from the bride (and the groom). Not everyone gets one.

Similarities between the two:
1. Very red (and pink).
2. The groom, the bride, and their parents still have to walk to each table for toast.
3. The groom and the bride and their parents still have to stand by the door to say good-byes to guests, one-by-one, and give out candies.
4. Ten or more dishes are served. The first dish is always a cold dish, and the last dish is fruits.
5. The bride still needs to change at least twice during the banquet for a total of three sets of dress- the white wedding dress, and two colorful puffy night-gown dresses.
