Four Girls And A Wedding
Went to my good friend Minell's wedding last Saturday, October 7th. As can be expected from all traditional Chinese weddings, this one had the ceremony at 3pm with the reception to follow at 7pm - which normally leaves the guests at a loss at what to do for the three to four hours in between till most of the guests arrive at the reception venue. Another Chinese friend told me that families take that time in between to observe certain "ceremonies" and have all the picture-taking over with.
Poor Minell, she had to invite so many people from the bank that she and her groom had over 500 guests total. (Bankers alone, including ex and current, occupied five tables with 10-12 seats).
Pepper, Jax and I decided to skip the wedding ceremony altogether so that took care of the after-wedding activities dilemma. We just went to the reception around 8pm, which thankfully was perfect timing. I am only realizing now what a hassle it is to drive in a long gown. Thank God for valet parking! April had to go to the wedding as she was part of the entourage so she was left entertain herself in between - hehehe. Here are some of the photos we took. You'd think we'd tire of taking so many pictures by now!
