My Chinese Wedding

So guess you had seen my china wedding photos ? The way they do it there is very different and is more interactive and fun and what we normally used to.

Just a short description on what went on those few days. Junbiao and Meiyan, thanks for the support !! Hope u guys enjoyed yourselves too :)

The first major difference we notice is the bridal car. The bridal car tends to be black in colour and most likely to be an Audi A4/A6, BMW, Honda Accord 2.4 or Hyundai Sonata. They use fresh flowers as decoration on the bonnet. The bigger the flowers arrangement the better it is. I wonder is it the same in other chinese cities ?

Trishaw is still very much active in her town where u pay 4-10rmb depending on the distance you run.

One interesting event was that we need to 拜天地 on the eve of our actual day . It was quite surprising to me.

The next surprise came was the wedding dinner. The amount of food was .......... so many!!! we had 8 cold dishes, 16 warm dishes, 2 soups, 2 desserts....and also fruits....It was amazing.....As the dinner was held at her house, the servers were her cousins helping out. Each time they send a dish up they were say some 吉祥的话 and u have to give a ang pao before they will place a dish on the table. The better they say it, the ang pao suppose to be bigger. It was kind of entertaining.

And of course after the dinner, we kena tekan, playing games for the crowd to see. U know... trying to ctach suspended apple, getting chopstick out of bottle without using hand, feeding each other 瓜子 without using hands.... and a lot more. Fun but quite pai say initially, but once the ice is break everybody enjoys...

After which we get to set off firecrackers and the next best thing was fireworks. They were beautiful.

Next time i sure come and set off fireworks....

Hope u enjoy reading as i typing....
