Happy Birthday Mother!!

This weekend was my mother's birthday! I won't embarrass her by telling you her age but I wanted to publicly tell her how much I love her and appreciate her continued love and support.

Now I will pretend I remembered her birthday by posting a few images from beautiful Chinese weddings.



There's this really amazing Chinese tradition where the Groom has to "win" the bride.

From what I can tell, this involves the groom and his groomsmen coming to the bride's home where the bridesmaids make him complete embarrassing tasks. If he completes all the tasks he "wins!"

I am sure there are feminists reasons why I shouldn't like this tradition but I think it sounds like fun! It also makes for some adorable pictures. See below.
