I am posting from the eve of Bachelors' Night to the Bachelor's Night and finally to his wedding day itself; all done in the traditional Chinese custom and superstitions since they observe the rites of Taoism; different from us where we are faithful Catholics:)
2 Days before his Wedding day, there was this ceremony to invite the deceased ancestors for a simple dinner and to inform them of the joyous occasion which is to take place.
The newly wed's room was tastefully decorated; to prepare for the BIG DAY:)
