Chinese Tea Ceremony

Basically, the tea ceremony is when the groom and his family brings over food, wine, and other goodies, and that all gets divided with the bride’s family (and the roasted pig too). The symbolic gesture represents two families coming together. That is also the time when the couple serves tea to the elders (basically all older relatives), and your relatives will give you money and/or jewelry. It’s a bling fest, really. We got diamond necklaces, gold chains, and lots of red envelopes. This is to help you start out your life and to remember your relatives by.
