China - the wedding

The wedding was fantastic.  A lot of symbolism and ritual and wonderful to see.  The couple had to serve tea to the parents, cut a lock of each others hair and a few other things that are not part of an American wedding. Fanny, the bride wore 3 different dresses.  A western style white gown,





















Then a traditional red for the actual ceremony.  Red is the color of happiness in China, white is the color for sadness and mourning.
Ben even wore the traditional wedding attire.


















Love the head gear!


And finally a dress for the reception.  Don't ask about Ben's hat.  I'll just say it has a Polish tradition, not Chinese.
After all that she changed again and went out to party with Ben, family and friends.

It was a beautiful ceremony and we are glad we were there.
