Chinese Wedding Reception

As part of our only daughter's wedding we attended a Chinese 8 course meal in Seattle, WA. There were 350 in attendance.

Alan San Lee Crys' husband's grandfather had 3 wives. The grandfather came from Cambodia to America and earned enough money and sent for his family of 200. The reception invites all the descendants. It was loud & fun! They did Chinese karaoke.

We ate at the House of Hong.

The American tables had Won Ton soup, egg rolls, sweet & sour pork, Sweet & sour chicken, Chinese noodles, coconut shrimp with sugared walnuts, & Red Bean soup, and a coconut cookie.

The Chinese tables got Won ton soup, lobster, pigeon, a whole Talapia (fish), fried rice and the other stuff we got. The Chinese bring red envelopes with money and the Anglos bring gifts from the couples registration at Target and other stores.

The couple cut a 3 tier cake and we got a piece of that. The wedding couple sang a song in Chinese and Alan's mother & father sang a song. Our son Dan and his fiancée, Heidie sang "Beauty & the Beast" in English.

During the meal the parents of the couple & the couple go around to each table and "toast" the people at each table and say "thank -you for coming" & click glasses.
