Traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony

The day started with traditional door games, where Lanay was challenged to a series of “stunts and tests” by LeiLei’s close friends, which are intended to prove his feelings for the bride. A tea ceremony then followed, where LeiLei and Lanay payed homage to heaven and earth, their ancestors and the kitchen god Tsao-Chün before offering tea to their families.
