Chinese wedding at Weetwood Hall & Maxis Leeds
Sut Yee and Mark (Hoi Man) had a huge wedding on at Weetwood Hall on 30 September this year – so big that only half the guests could fit in the ceremony room, so had to watch the marriage taking place by video link, which unfortunately failed part way through!
However, before the groom even gets to the wedding ceremony he has to submit to demeaning but humorous wedding forfeits before he is allowed to enter the Bride’s parent’s house, where he is subsequently introduced to his bride to be’s parents via a ritualistic Chinese Tea Ceremony.
Delicate cups of amber-coloured, tea with a floating red date to sweeten them, are passed over by the bride and groom to assembled family members in exchange for gifts to the soon to be married couple.
These two little girls get all exciuted to see the bride and groom arriving at Weetwood hall for the wedding ceremony.
The bride’s first task on arrival at Weetwood is to serve tea to her husband to be’s rfamily
Then its time for a quick change into her elegant long champagne coloured wedding dress for the marriage ceremony

If you’d like to chat to Elaine about your Chinese wedding photos or video DVD or Blu-ray, give me a call. We might even be able to arrange a special price for you if your wedding is on a Tuesday… xx Elaine and Jorge
