Small Wedding ceremony

Today at 12 was the celebration of Zhongwei and Zhanyu's wedding!
Actually it was their second party; they had a first one in Zhanyu's
hometown some weeks ago. The arrival of the bride and groom was
welcomed by fireworks so loud and smoky that we felt like on a battle
field... After that, they undertook many traditional rituals such as
lighting candles together, thanking the parents or filling up with
champagne a whole pyramid of glasses. All accompanied by music. And
lots of pictures. Instead of throwing the wedding bouquet to the
singles among the guests the couple invited us on stage and asked if
Marie wanted to accept it. She was very honored and of course happily
did. After the ceremoney the bride and groom went around thank you
toasting with all 300 guests together with their parents. But that's
really nothing compared to the over 60 tables (600 guests) they had to
drink with on their first wedding. As usual, the food was fantastic
and abundant, we are really having a blast with food in China!
Congratulations for a magnificent ceremony, we wish you all the best
on your journey in life together. JC and Marie
