Today i attended my first chinese wedding! The wedding ceremonies in China begins at the brides house. The bride is locked in her own room at her parents house with her best friends. The groom has to convince the brides friends that he really loves the her by shouting i love you and other nice things and handeling money into the room to the brides friends. If he performs well he will be let into the room and then he has to find the brides shoes. After some shoe searching it's time to head to the restaurant where a huge dinner is held. A lot of fireworks are used outside the brides home and the restaurant, really loud ones!
In the restaurant there are some ceremonies with pictures of the couple when they were young etc, little similar to Finland and then some jokes. Only this time the jokes were on me also because, suprice suprice i was the only foreigner there. So there i stood with about 200 chinese around me with a microphone talking some random things in chiense and this one guy kept making jokes about me...Was interesting and the food was awesome!
