Today I have the first part of Lee and Amy’s beautiful Chinese Wedding at Down Hall Hotel in Hertfordshire.  The day started with traditional chinese wedding games.  The Bride is behind a locked door and the groom has to prove his worth by completing challenges set by the girls, always very very funny to photograph!  I know Amy is looking forward to seeing these photographs, sorry Amy I couldn’t show them all you’ll have to wait for the disc to see the really embarrassing ones!  The girls did an awesome job, I think the boys really enjoyed wearing the pink pants!  The games were followed by the Chinese Tea ceremony where the Bride and Groom serve tea to their parents and other family members. The elders offer words of wisdom to the couple and give gifts of money and jewelry.  At the end of the ceremony all the children congratulate the couple and are given gifts of money in red envelopes.  It was a lovely wedding, I hope you enjoy the pictures.  A big thanks to Megan for all her help on the day.  Come back tomorrow for Lee and Amy’s Down Hall Wedding Photography part 2 showing their Civil Wedding ceremony and Chinese Wedding Banquet at the Yi-Ban Chinese Restaurant in London.
