Smile or not?

At the western wedding, everyone expects to see the bride feel happy which means she've got to smile and laugh a lot. At the eastern wedding, the situation is just opposite: the bride is expected to feel sad because she is leaving her mother and her own family. With both side's mothers present, what should I do? Smiling much would make my mother sad while being sad makes my mother-in-law uneasy. So I was swinging between thees two expressions, hoping others would not look at me as if I was a clown. :)

Gone with the summer

The summer has not come yet, but it is already gone;
I have not been fed up with my new sandals, but it is already not suitable for the season.

Could this be made up for by only an apology?

Mattel sorry for 'design flaws'

"Mattel has admitted that most of the toys recalled in recent safety scares had "design flaws" and that Chinese manufacturers were not to blame".------ BBC

But the reputaion of Chinese products is already damaged and one boss of one Chinese toy factory suicided because of the huge pressure put on him in this crisis.

The meaning of marriage

1.To share happiness and sadness

2.To complete the meaning of one's life

3.To have children
......

Whatever, it is a milestone.

The wedding culture (2)

(resumed)

After around almost 2 hours, when the day was getting dark, the dinner started at the third venue after another 30 minutes driving. Because it is a big party, more than 80 people, the seating were already and guests easily found their seats by finding their names on the table. The newly weds sat with their witnesses and several family members, in the centre of the room. The meal was progressed from the starter, the main dish to the dessert. Between each course, DJ organized a set of programs for guests, including newly weds show and various types of dancing. The most traditional program is “the first dance”. Dancing is a main program in the wedding, and newly weds first started dancing to open the dancing night at the party and then guests joined in. Dancing often starts from Waltz. After that, the music passed to Rock, Salsa, Disco and even Tango, the favourites of young people. Luckily dance is still in my legs after several years since I attended the dancing competition, I got through the party night. Cutting the wedding cake is another traditional program. The newly weds cut the cake first and then guests were invited to share it. A traditional French wedding cake is Piece Montee, but nowadays people are free to choose a cake they like, eg. in the party, the cakes were chocolate ones.


The newly weds are full of romantic spirit. Every detail in the wedding was paid attention, from small programs, eg. breaking champaign glass at each venue, wedding colors...... to the groom's tie knot. The pity is that I could not take all into my camera. Hope these pictures here could extend your imagination.

The time when I got out of the party is already 4am. Exhausted!
