Here are some pics by the West Lake and the wedding there. The day was relatively warm, 11C or so. We had a few hours walking around before the 5:30pm banquet. The official start time was 18:18. A symbolic lucky numeric value. Now you get a chance to peek into a Chinese wedding. It was fun and smoke filled ;-) Not the filtered type so very strong… our eyes were watery as everyone around us started lighting up. To give an impression, I took some shots for effect. Actually, there is an official no smoking inside public building as of Jan 1 this year. Hee hee…. Old habit dies hard. Or not ever. LOL.
Closer to the end of the wedding banquet, the groom's brother had a friend walked up on stage and recited a love poem. It was very moving. We were all surprised. it was about the eternal love of a newly wed couple. A story from ancient Chinese time. Then, an oldest relative walked on stage to give a blessing.
