Last weekend was a pretty hectic day for my family especially my parents. Lotsa last minute prep's and slight confusion for the chinese wedding custom. But i guess it was very simple since both families are not very conservative type. Partly, i think things were a lot easier where there's no elderly around anymore as in grandparents and so on, if you know what i mean.
Morning was the arrival of the groom to our place and from there i had the chance to collect extra ang pow and i was helping out as one of the camera-man too. Next, followed by welcoming of the bride to the groom's place in Taiping. The weather did not help at all, it was hot like .......nvm forget it.
I was glad when the tea ceremony was over and we had time to check-in to the hotel to rest. But it was only a while and we went out hunting for delicacies in Taiping. After that, back to the hotel and almost everyone of us dozed off, snored like pig guys and girls. I don't usually snore, extremely rare but I was so damn tired, slept for about 3 hours only the night before.
At night was the wedding dinner at a associations hall, it was a small town, groom's from pretty simple family i would say. Its actually nice to be able to observe close-ties, family bonds, peaceful town life, simple people etc. Something which you can't find in city life.
