Traditional Chinese Wedding

Before going home for winter break I had the chance to go to one of our Mandarin teachers, Judy's, wedding in Beijing. Here are some pictures from the beautiful day. In China red means good fortune and happiness, which explains their clothing.

We followed the double happiness symbol throughout the city


These men carried Judy for over two hours


My favorite carrier, he danced the entire two hours

After the reveal...


Drinking to a life of love


Wedding favors were alcohol and cigarettes
