with a welcome cocktails of all drinks sweet, bitter, spicy and sour.  

followed by "tasty" sandwiches.

after a few more rounds of teasing and tricks, the groom finally was able to enter the house and met the father and mother-in laws.

  1. I love their traditional styled wedding ceremony at home. All these fetch-brides, heng-dai torture rituals and tea ceremony are often more jovial with laughters!

    It is nice that the bride wore the Chinese costume at home and that fits the whole ceremony well. I had never seen other brides who wore this way. Kudos to their brilliant ideas and I am sure the Chan ancestors are happy with blessings for them all.

  2. I was surprised too when she decided to wear the kua instead of bridal gown but altogether it was a beautiful event. Thanks
