The wedding of 徐雅文 and 王德成
My friend's Yolanda's sister recently got married, and I was asked to take photos of the reception. Here are some selected photos from the blessed event.

The couple makes their entrance into the reception hall.
Some of my friends at the table thought it was amusing I was taking photos of the food, but it was quite interesting. These were lobster spring rolls - they were quite good... The hollowed-out lobster centerpiece was a nice touch.
A trio of crabs invite you to take a bite before they take a pinch
"Go ahead... take a morsel.. I dare you... I'll give you such a bite..."
During the dinner, the couple goes around and shares a toast with each table

Some more food. Beef ribs and some sort of breaded thing. I don't know what the breaded things were, but they were good - so I am pretty sure I don't want to know.
The dinner menu, full of scary delights
A dish made from rice, Abalone and... Sea Cucumber. I didn't eat this.
Looks like a nice, normal stew... until you look a little closer.... is that....
... OMG... It's Seahorse soup!!!
Not everyone was put off by eating Seahorses. The soup was a big hit

As the guests leave the reception, the couple greets them and offers gifts of candy and cigarettes

Very nice! Yolanda and her sisters are so beautiful.
Why does the bride wear three different dresses?

Gorgeous bride and groom.
The seahorse soup would definitely NOT enter my mouth!!!
I envy you the opportunity of living in a different culture for awhile. Enjoy!!
It is common for the bride to change dresses three times during the reception. She usually enters in her wedding gown, Changes into a different dress for the meal, and another at the end. I am not sure why, but it is a common thing in Chinese weddings.
