Today was a good day for weddings! Wedding dinners often take place on the street here, under a big long tent. There was one on our street today, and as they were taking down the tent covering, it provided a good look at what goes on. You put up a tent, fill it with tables. People come, eat a HUGE 10-course meal, take a few pictures maybe with the new couple (you can see the bride there in the red dress - in Chinese culture, white is for funerals and red is for weddings, although nowadays lots of brides wear white in the western tradition), and go home. I have to say, I'm glad that Ryan and my reception will be indoors!
