Jing Wen has always been a fan of David Tao. And Jing Wen told himself, one day if he gets married, he must sing this song "爱很简单" to that person he love the most! Since he can't afford David Tao, he'll get his backing vocalist David Tan to play for him hahaha~
恭喜恭喜! Congratulations to Jing-Wen & Ya-Ting! Thank you for sharing with us a whole new experience of a Taiwan wedding and warm hearted people showing us so much love!
To sum up our work trip at Kao Hsiung, it was really an eye opener!
Firstly, when you arrive at the wedding, you are given a goodie bag, they call it 喜饼. It's all packed nicely in an elegant box.
The banquet starts as early as 6.45pm and the banquet manager is the host of the wedding and the standard is like a pro! We were truely impressed.
After the 1st March-in, the couple had their cake cutting followed by champagne popping straight away and nuptial toast. Then they invited both parents (双方家长 only) to do a toast to everyone by saying "恭喜" as loud as you can, the louder the more blissful it will be for the couple.
After the toast, the dinner commences. They had a 12 course dinner. Wow! We then had our 1st set of live music performance.
When the couple are done changing into their 2nd outfit, they continued their 2nd March-in. As they walked in they gave out little sweet packets. When they get onto the stage, they gave their speech. The next thing you know, all their relatives and close friends went up on stage to congratulate the couple publicly (Yes! With the mic). They will call up groups of people to give their wishes and sing for the couple! It is really a different culture here, the taiwan folks are more outspoken.
The whole wedding feels very heart warming and sincere as compared to some of our local weddings. We are grateful for this wonderful experience and opportunity! Special thanks to Esmond for all the arrangements and the opportunity. We had loads of fun! Wishing you both a happy and blissful marriage! 祝你们早生贵子!
