We Got Married in Hong Kong! Chinese Wedding Part 1

  • I've been pretty MIA and that's because I was traveling and spending quality time with my family in Hong Kong. I was born in Hong Kong and left the city when I turned 8 years old for California but a huge part of my culture and identity is in my cantonese culture. Celebrating my marriage in a traditional Cantonese style wedding is my dad's dream but I knew I wanted to honor this tradition as part of my culture.
    My heart is so warm and full as I'm typing this and I'm so happy to be able to share this snippet of the beautiful moments I shared with my best friends and family. I want to thank everyone who participated in my wedding and even flew out to Hong Kong from the states to be there with us. I can't describe how special it means for every single loved one to be there on my special day with Leo.
    If you're reading this, know that you're part of my family too and I'm so happy to be able to share these moments with you :)
    The banquet night portion of the wedding video will come out next month! This is just part 1 so stay tuned:)

    In traditional Chinese weddings, the groom’s party visits the bride’s home and goes through a series of challenges hosted by the bridesmaids in the morning to “win” the bride. As the bride, I’m in a separate room while these games are happening outside! It was really really fun and the games are usually ridiculous 😂 Special thanks to @zhangbing__ for putting together the traditional clothes and games for the morning festivity’s! When the challenges have been successfully passed, the groom pours his heart out in a speech and the bride can choose to accept it 🥰 After this, the tea ceremony begins and Leo and I pour tea to my grandparents and parents to ask for their blessings ❤️ this weekend was the happiest I’ve ever felt 🎈my heart is so full and I’m so grateful for every single friend that took time out of their busy schedules and flew out to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 to spend this special day with me and Leo 🎀 it truly means the world to me and I feel so blessed 🥰 I love every single of you that's reading this and you all hold a very special place in my heart ❤️
