Today I’m going to post lots and lots of pictures, about 50 plus pictures on my cousins wedding and I will upload the ones on my cousins ROM and his photoshoot pictures another day cause I’m lazy to resize them all! HAHA.

So today there shall be less words and more pictures, which is preferred by everyone no?

These are the pictures taken before, when we had to go collect the wedding cake from the groom’s house:

This is the basket where you store all the dowry that you’re supposed to give to the brides parents according to what they have formerly discussed with the groom’s parents.

Normally dowry includes money, jewellry (prefably gold), food etc. You catch the idea. For the money, you have to accept the amount and then give a little back to the groom’s parents. Its kind of a courtesy.

Some of the stuff that went into the basket:

I think its jewelry inside these packages, I’m not really sure.

So you can pretty much request for any food that you want, like you see here, the brides’s parents requested for pork leg I think. And we brought home pork leg ourselves!

I wonder if you can make totally unreasonable requests like eh, I want a billion oranges and ehhh… 2 thousand clothes sewn from fine silk or something.

HMMM.. i think nobody would want to marry me after that though. BOOO. ahhaa.

But a girl can dreammm…

So when I told you we were going to collect wedding cake, what exactly did you imagine? Did you imagine something like…

this?

This is what we got:

Its kind of a Teochew cake kind of thing which we totally didn’t know how to appreciate and we didn’t even know how to go about eating it. HAHA.

So yea, apart from the peanut brittle and what looks like lao po bing, we didn’t really eat anything else. BOOO. Anyway, something really special I found was this…

On the can of each pork leg, there is this “XI” word, which is kind of the word you see everywhere during chinese wedding, meaning happiness or something to that extent.

Isn’t it sweet??? All pork legs have that nice little sticker on it!

Now on the day of the wedding, we head off to the groom’s house for the tea ceremony!

The groom picks the bride up from her house first, which is pretty much where all the fun happens, where you get to make the groom do horrible things like eat wasabi and say sweet stuff like i love you in 500 languages or something. Ah, so lucky to be me. (:

While waiting for the groom and bride to arrive, took some pictures of my cousins:

The couple have arrived and the tea ceremony begins!

First, they serve tea to the parents and collect red packets filled with lotsa lotsa moolah! Then they serve the elders according to seniority, the most senior getting served first.

Starting with my eldest uncle. Followed by my aunt.

Then my PARENTS! (:

My mother kept wanting to be called XIAO JIE (Miss)! Totally in her dreams. In the end, she got some really oldish sounding title like DA YI or YI MA or something. Ah well, HAHA.

My mummy was smiling so widely till her mouth couldn’t even close. If I got married I think she might have a permanent problem closing her mouth. I CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT DAY! HAHAHA.

Lastly, my youngest uncle and auntie.

Because my cousins are all younger or of the same age as this cousin, we all don’t get tea served to us. AWWWW SHUCKS.

But all of the people have to give them red packets when served tea. And if you are the one carrying the tea, you get red packets too! DAMN! I shoudl have done that instead of standing there taking pics! hahaha.

Then its picture time!

They are too busy looking at the professional photographer to even be bothered with me…

With the grooms side of the family.

With all the best man.

With bridesman and best man.

They head off to my cousins old room to check out his past living conditions:

Them on his old bed.

My cousin LOVES xiao ding dang. To the extent he has one whole collection of them even in his new house. And he apparantly hugs this very grotty one for years on end, explaining why it looks like a 100 years old.

After they left to take photos of them in various scenic spots, we remained in the groom’s house and took more pictures of my cousin.

We also used this special machine to weigh how much body fats we have! And apparantly I’m in the healthy range! WHOOPEE!

My cousins learn aikido, which is why they normally adopt some kind of fighting stance. Not because they are obsessed with fighting!

After that, we headed to the bride and grooms new house for a buffet. And when we got there, we bumped into them downstairs!

And they’ve changed into the 2nd attire for the day!

Some pictures of their dog inside their house:

Its a schnauzer and its name is CANCAN. Cute name huh?

Which leads me to think…

Is my mixed poodle silky terrier a.k.a silky poo cuter or the schnauzer? SAY MY DOG!

And since we’re comparing.. how about..

My cousin and the brides sisters daughter? Whose cuter? HAHA.

I didn’t manage to catch her in her 3rd outfit for the day but here and some pictures of her room:

The room is pretty much decked out in bright red and pink. And no, we didn’t hide chickens under the bed to see if their first child would be male or female. And no, we didn’t get kids to roll on their bed so they can have children soon.

Anyway, they had this framed photo of the photoshoot they had for their wedding at the top of the door:

Alrighty, I’m done with updating! I’ll update the pictures from ROM and the photoshoot another time. I shall end with my favourite photo from the photoshoot just to give you a sneak preview:
