A Chinese Wedding

One of my co-teachers, Irene, had a party last weekend (4.20) and I was invited!  It wasn't actually her wedding, it was more of an engagement party.  Usually a Chinese wedding, at least from what I've been told, is more private and low-key.  The engagement party is more like the reception, only it's before they're actually married.  Either way it was tons of fun and Irene was beautiful.

Irene and me, you can go into her dressing room for pictures before she comes out.

 

Irene and Alida, this is dress number 1.

There was lots of seafood, this was still moving though so I didn't try it!

Dress number 2 - hey Dad, can I have a "Chinese wedding" ;)

 

Saying goodbye to guests, they offered candy and cigarettes...?

Gift bag from the party, every guest got one.  Includes a cake and candies.
