My Chinese Wedding 2008

I’m getting married in 2008! Help!

The Tea Ceremony - Brides house & Grooms house

Posted on October 7, 2007 in the Real Weddings category

The bride and groom after the games. Helen is wearing a traditional vietnamese dress called an ao dai for both tea ceremonies.

It is tradition to have a tea ceremony at the brides house first. First the groom offers the elders tea using both hands and then the bride must follow. After they drink the tea a lai see (lucky packet) is given our jewellery

My whole family - The bridesmaids and a few other girls are also wearing ao dai’s

We then jumped into the limousine and went to Long’s parents house for the other tea ceremony. By then everyone was starving so a good tip would be to have food ready for everyone at the brides house and the groom’s house.

We then had to get changed for the Wedding Ceremony.
