The wedding was in a hotel. There probably was at least four other weddings in that same day in the same venue. You get there about an hour before the actual ceremony and greet the family. They were very welcoming. You then get your meal ticket and go to one of the rooms designated for that specific wedding to eat. The food is amazing and there is an overwhelming assortment of sushi, sashimi, pasta, dessert and other traditional foods. The wedding then starts. Its basically open to the public.
The wedding was broad casted on the screen here and also on the first floor where guest were still eating.
The floor was amazing: gold, shimmery tile.
There was no vowel exchange or any readings by relatives and no bride's maids or groom's men.
There was just apart where a man sang and then the bride and groom embraced each other's parents.
Streamers were dropped over them as they walked back up the aisle.
They kissed after they walked back up the aisle. Then They stood there for a minute for photos. The ceremony was officially over at this point, but instead of leaving they walked back up the aisle for photos.
Ladies dressed in there little uniforms quickly picked the streamers off the bride and groom, as well as the floor. They put them in a bag and gave them to the family as a souvenir.
Both groups of parent sat on the stage.
I love the traditional dresses the mother's wore.
The groom looks like his about to eat his mother.
After the wedding there is no party for all the guests. The immediate family gets together for a dinner celebration. They aren't quite as fun as a drunk American wedding. The whole wedding from greeting the family, eating and portraits is about two hours. The majority of the wedding is photos.
Sunghe is the women who invited me to this wedding. It's her brother and we teach together.
