A beautiful day for a Wedding!

While we were at the park with our teacher and her family there were many, many, many weddings going on. Why so many weddings Jennifer?

Well, let me tell you. Here the number 8 is considered very lucky to have because it is associated with wealth or fortune. Many people and companies will pay a lot of money to have a phone number with a lot of 8's in it. Anyways... Sunday was the 18th of October so there were a lot of weddings happening on that day.

First up: Beautiful couple (even waving to us...we are so cool) It is becoming more common to have a "western" style wedding with a white dress. Many couples even have 2 weddings, on with a white dress and one with more traditional dress.

Here is a scene from a traditional wedding ceremony. 

 

I can't believe the background! Am I still in Asia? It looks so real! (ha!)

Ha! For some reason they thought this was a great idea. I want to see how their pictures turned out! 

Last but not least is the couple between the dancing dragons. When we were there up close and personal the bride didn't seem to happy about this one.

These were all different couples and there were a few more that we didn't get pictures of. It was really a fun expereince and see how a differnt culture celebrates weddings. Talking with our teacher and finding out more about her own wedding was very interesting. There are things that were similar to our own wedding but then again some things were very different. I hope someday to expereince attending a wedding here for real, not just as an onlooker.
