On Saturday, I had the huge privilege of attending my first non-chinese wedding – the marriage of two friends, Nick and Jo. It was incredibly emotional, as we knew it would be (waterproof mascara was bought specially for the event). It was very well organised, and I have been told by friends, that the 4pm start was a good idea so that there wasn’t any lingering around between the ceremony and reception. I liked all the traditional things that a chinese wedding lacks – the speeches, the cutting of the cake, the first dance…A very memorable day was had by all that were there.
