To say that Katty and William’s wedding was an intricate affair would be gross understatement. The couple’s day was more than 20 hours long, and I was there for 16 of them. It was crazy from the start, when William and his friends had to play a traditional Chinese wedding game of convincing the bridesmaids to let the groom’s men (and woman) inside the house. The bridemaids decided that if William couldn’t answer obscure questions about Katty (such as who her 3rd grade teacher was), they would have to eat tomatoes filled with wasabi. Real wasabi.
There were multiple tea ceremonies at the bride’s and groom’s parents’ houses, with a beautiful Western ceremony at the groom’s parents’ house. From there, it was a battle against Long Island traffic to a huge Chinese banquet in Flushing, with 480 guests. Do you know how many suckling pigs it takes to feed 480 people? Well now I do, since they all came out in an endless stream, LED lights glowing over their eyes.
And that’s just the most cursory breakdown. You’ll probably want to watch the slideshow to get the whole feel of the day. But for now, pictures:
