Here comes the Bride    
(My nephew, Eric & 
Janice's wedding)



 The other day I mentioned that I flew to Hongkong to attend my nephew's wedding.

Here are some of the photos of the radiant young couple






































The very important & significant "tea ceremony"

The young couple knelt to serve tea to the parents, then to a long queue of senior members of the family.  After showering the young couple with well wishes & blessings: they gave gifts of jewelry & "lye si" (red packets with cash in it)  Note the numerous gold bracelets on both the bride's arm & the necklaces around her neck!!


 My brother-in-law,  added yet another gold bracelet to the bride's forearm

This great looking couple are the bride's happy parents

Yours truly here, wish the young couple
a blissful life & am hopeful to go to
Hongkong a year from now
for a baby's shower.
