the wedding tea ceremony
@ the dinner
Last weekend we kept ourselves occupied with Theng Ee Ee's wedding. On Sat morning, mummy dropped Emeryn at Por Por's place as she went for her team building session, Break The Code at Belissa Row. After mummy is done with her team building, she sent Emeryn to her Art Class before heading to the Chinese sinseh. Mummy had some minor numbness on her toe after the Mummy & Me catwalk session a week ago.
We went home after Art Class and get ready to head over to Theng Ee Ee's rented place for her wedding day. We had a families & friends gathering there, spoil with yummy food. We went home after 12am when Ee Ee was done with the hair-combing ceremony and some prayers which has to be done on the wedding eve. This has been a long tradition that is believed to bring long and
lasting marriage, where the red string signifies blessing which is used
to tie the bride’s hair and the ruler is used to remind couples to
cherish their relationship and take good care of the family. Finally, tang yuen (glutinous rice ball) will be served to the Bride and Groom as a mean for sweetness and stick forever.
We woke up early the next morning and went over to the rented house for the wedding occasion. As the traditional Chinese customary wedding continues, we were all entertained by the wedding door games on the groom's heng tai (groomsmen) by the ji mui (bridesmaids). On the wedding
day, the groom and his groomsmen arrive at the bride’s home and go
through a mock bargaining session for her with her bridesmaids. The
groom and his groomsmen are often made to do funny embarrassing things
before the bridesmaids release the bride to him. After all the games ended, the groom gave red packets to the bridesmaids before he is allowed to enter the room to get his bride. Next was the tea ceremony before going over to the groom's side. Of course we took a huge family photo before the ceremony adjourned.
Mummy went for the Gelugor by-election after that before we head home. We had a quick rest before going over to the hair salon to style our hair for the wedding dinner. Before driving to StoneBay restaurant, mummy picked Ah Kong's friend. Again we helped out during the dinner with mummy busy snapping photo. It was definitely a long day for all of us on that BIG day. We dropped Carmen Ee Ee, Sherine Ee Ee and Ah Kong's friend at the rented house after the dinner. We could still managed to catch the last set of game of the Thomas Cup at the rented place. We went home with huge disappointment. Nevertheless the players had played their best.
The
reason behind the games is so to prove that the Tze-Mui’s are not
prepared to let their good friend go so easily and to also show the
grooms love for his bride! - See more at:
