Our families had the 過 大 禮 today and it went really well. I think both side parents spent a lot of time running around and getting really random things for this ceremony. There are a lot of little items to get and symbolizes different good wishes for the marriage.
Brian's family came over to our house this morning at 11:00am to present us with their gift, it included a red pocket, a gift basket filled with different dried seeds and fruits, two large bags of dried seafood, two boxes of chinese pastry, two pairs of coconuts, two can of tea leaves etc.. Everything needs to come in pairs to symbolize good luck.
From the girl side, we bought pants, belt and wallet for the groom, red pocket, two cake, two fried dough ball, a pair of ginger, some leaves, a basket of fruits that has pairs of a lot of different fruits, tea leaves etc...
After the gift, we went for dim sum with the extended family... I am supprise that both moms had so much to chat about.. I think today went really well!! We are off to a good start! =D
