Just a few photos from my girlfriend’s wedding at the end of October.
In traditional Chinese weddings, the groom goes to the bride’s house to pick her up. Prior to entering the house, the groom needs to give the bridesmaid a red pocket (money), which is negotiated at the door. However, that’s not it – the bridesmaids and the bride’s girlfriends don’t make it easy and the groom and his entourage is subjected to various obstacles and games.
Lately I’ve been less active in the blogosphere and I’ve been missing on everyone’s posts. I’m slowly catching up. Some days I have back-to-back events and I don’t even have time to go home to change. Last month, there was one day where I was at wedding festivities, left during the tea ceremony to volunteer at an performance, as soon as that was over I attended a NGO monthly members meeting, then eventually to the wedding reception.
For that day I put up my hair, hoping it would look clean and tidy during the day and look evening up-do appropriate. My bangs are at the length of too short to clip up and too long to leave down, so I’ve been braiding my bangs and clipping behind my ear. I wore low heels during the day since I knew that I would be standing for most of the day. I picked an evening dress that I would be able to change into easily – meaning no need to use double sided tapes, strategically adhere the Nubras, or complicated closures (e.g. lace-up back). I’m sure everyone has a dress like that in their closet!
