Saturday, 6/6/09 - The wedding banquet
After the tiring bride-fetching ceremony. Next, it was the tea ceremony. So the tea ceremony is about the couple serving tea to the elders and get blessings (and Ang Pows) from them etc. When all the elders are served, then it is the youngers' turn. The youngers will get Ang Pow from the newly wed of course. For us, the Heng Dai, we were just so tired, so we chilled aside with the food provided from the bride's side =)
Tea Ceremony
Before leaving to the groom's house. The couple needed to pray (to the heaven and earth? I am guessing). 拜天地。
Yuup..ready to go. My friend Siew Lee playing carrying this basket that contained things that needed to bring back to the groom's house。The only thing that I can remember is honey- for sweetness of marriage （甜甜蜜蜜）
Not to forget the roasted pork which appeared earlier on Part 2.
Until that we were done with the "station games", tea ceremony, eat and toilet and all that, it was 10am already! Gosh, we had to go back to Temerloh (our home town) before 2pm for the wedding banquet. And coincidentally, it was the sultan's birthday, on our way back, we were racing with hundreds of Toyota Cardina. The Toyotas were on some kind of charity drive to Cherating @@, why on my friend's wedding day? The Heng Dai cars are supposed to escort the bride car, but since we were a huge jam, the bride car left us behind.
Finally, we reached the groom's house at 1:30pm. We were left half an hour to dress up, you can tell from the way my messy hair look, haha!

So, that was it! My friend, Ah Yet and his wife, Shannen's wedding. I wish both of you all the best and live happily together.
*P/S: Suddenly felt very lonely, haih~~
