Nathan's teacher, Miss Agnes, got married this weekend, and we felt honored to be invited. We sat with the rest of the class in the back, and waited anxiously. When the doors opened and she started down the aisle, everyone not only stood up, but clapped and cheered loudly. Nathan was standing on the pew hanging out into the aisle clapping like crazy! The "most beautiful dress I've ever seen", said Elie. After the ceremoney high tea was held outside and next to the church.
We learned a few things about etiquette for a Chinese wedding. You're not supposed to wear black or white - bad luck. Bright colors and reds are best. Typically no one buys gifts. Instead, all cash, in a red envelope, you present at the reception. Regarding how much - number eight is lucky, but no fours!
