My brother’s wedding….what a day that was. Good planning goes a long way. Definitely hire a wedding planner; you’ll enjoy your own wedding so much more. I am not the official photographer. I’m too nervous to be the one who is solely responsible of my brother and sister in law’s important day.
We start the day of at I Do Wedding Store over at South Philly. This is a one stop shop with full wedding related services; bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, tuxedo, photography, videography, invitations, decorations….the whole nine yard. The make up artists and hair stylist is so nice. I highly recommend them.
Chinese wedding….everything all red :)
Look at the guy’s expression!
An Asian wedding can have so many traditions and rules. For example, the gifts bearing, the red envelopes, who gets to open the door first, the wiping of the shoes….
After the tea ceremony, we head off to the Art Museum at center city. It was an absolutely beautiful day. Cloudy with no rain. Apparently this day is very popular. There was already two wedding party there and three more when we arrived at Chinatown.
The reception is held at Joy Tsin Lau Restaurant. For as long as I can remember, my family always held wedding receptions and birthday parties there. My grandma and the owner of the restaurant go way back. I didn’t get a chance to take many pictures at the reception since I had to help seat the guests.
At the end of the night, you are either one of the two ;)
