We went to groom's house early in the morning, around 9am. It was for the tea drinking ceremony? I guess you could call it that way. I don't know what's the proper name for it in english, all I know is that we call it "lim teh" in hokkien which literally means drink tea. During the ceremony, the bride and groom serves tea to the elderly such as their parents, aunties and uncles. Then the kids receive ed packets from the bride and groom. I don't know much.
I couldn't wear black so I borrowed a red cheongsam from Carol. In chinese beliefs, we're not advised to wear black for auspicious ceremony. Back in the olden days, it was strictly not allowed but I guess it's not really that strict now, however it's still not advisable. Since my attire was fully black from top to bottom, I had to change into something else.
o(〃＾▽＾〃)o Me and my favourite aunt.
The ceremony lasted till noon. It was so hot, so we decided to get out of there and go to the mall~~ ✧ ─=≡Σ((( つ•̀ω•́)つ AIRCOND~!!! I bought a pair of gorgeous earring from H&M.
:3 My cousin picked it out for me.
Time for the wedding dinner~!! O.O The hall was huge. So many tables, almost 100 tables. We were sited at the table next to the bride and groom. One of my aunt said that so we could see the bride and groom walk down the aisle. Well, I was so busy being impressed by the beauty of the newlywed couple that I totally forgot to take a picture of them.
After the 1st 2 dishes was brought out, everyone just ran off to other table to have a drink and talk with the guest, that night was literally bumping.
After the dinner, just when we thought we can finally go home and sleep, the family invited us to karaoke. Omaigad @@ I was ready to lay on the bed and doze off. They really know how to party and sing, they even said they were gonna karaoke until 3am, but everyone was already darn tired by 1.30am so we went home.
