Candy and William
I attended my cousin’s wedding banquet tonight. William is my cousin, and his wife is Candy. I haven’t been any wedding banquets since six or seven years ago. The wedding banquet is very different from those in the past. They don’t play the old traditional Chinese wedding music anymore but replaced with English love songs. There were not many playing Mahjor too that I was quite surprise. Mahjor is the major activity during the wedding banquet, but it wasn’t popular at my cousin’s wedding banquet though. They also didn’t give away “Red” eggs in the end of dinner. Hummm it seems I am the one to think so traditional….

His wedding banquet was a weatern style dispite on the menu. Not sure if the same in England but definitely the same in America. Was that pic of the plate with two pink hearts and a ball-like item were ice-cream? What was their menu that evening? And what inside the red box, that must be the thank you gift for the guest. Let me know (by e-mail)when you have more pictures from the wedding uploaded into the other photo web.
I think it depends on how you arrange it in the UK. If people had wedding banquet in a Chinese restaurant in the China town, I believe the menu would be in both Chinese and western. Those two pink hearts are coconut cakes. It isn’t a box, which is a food menu placed vertically on the table.
I see it was a menu, from that angle, it looked like a red box. Did they have wedding cakes or the coconut cakes = wedding cakes?
They don’t have wedding cakes. The coconut cakes are just dessert of the dinner like normal Chinese banquet in the restaurant. They made it in heart shape that matched with the idea of wedding banquet.
Since it’s the season of Mooncakes, I hope people didn’t give them out as presents - yuk!
Well, Giles…people do give though!
