The Traditions

Bei and Terence had two Chinese tea ceremonies: one at Bei’s parents’ house and the other at the couple’s house. Bei’s close friends and bridesmaids acted as “door blockers,” commanding Terence to do 125 push-ups and answer difficult questions about Bei, in order to gain the right to marry her. Once Terence completed his tasks (with a little help from his friends), he and Bei knelt in front of her parents to serve them tea and receive blessings.
