my korean wedding: part 1

ha ha, I know you guys have been waiting for this
this time I'll really try to update as soon as I can... try my best :P
and due to the popular demand, I'll try to write in both English and Chinese, he he...

剛從韓國行完婚禮回來，這就是我的韓國傳統婚禮的照片
我們行的是韓國傳統婚禮，現在來説就算是韓國人也很多都沒看過
然後我的家人也一起飛去韓國，所以這次婚禮對我們和親戚朋友來說都是很有意義的

ok, ladies and gentlemen, here are my korean wedding photos (part 1)... ta la

cover shot, this is taken before the ceremony started.
儀式開始前先擺擺款，是不是很象在拍戲。我覺得有點像好色的皇帝在調戲良家婦女的感覺，呵呵~

we walked to the stage one by one...
first i went up there to bow to my father-in-law, then followed by Stella
我們分別有兩個人陪著走上台， 後面還有人撐黃傘，象黃帝出遊醬
我先在臺上向岳父大人行大禮，然後Stella才到臺上來

after that we just follow instruction from the host to bow and make toasts to each other.
luckily the host can speak a little bit of English, plus the help from the guy kneeling next to me, I was still manage to follow the steps.
然後就是夫妻交拜，還有互相敬酒
敬酒時其實只需要意思意思沾沾唇就好，可是什麽都不知道的我卻一口干了
跪著要站起來時因爲衣服太長絆到了有點站不穩，搞得哄堂大笑

then we walked down from the stage, friends and relatives throw some rice on us
接下來我們從臺上走下，親友們就在兩旁把米往我們身上撒（應該是米吧？）


finally, we went back to the stage again together with our parents, bow and thank to those who attended the ceremony. then we were off to say bye to friends who were leaving, and took photos with people before the next phase of the ceremony starts
最後，我們跟父母回到臺上鞠躬謝禮，然後就個別跟要離開的朋友們拍照道別致意

till then it's the end of the first phase of the ceremony
friends were leaving or off to the dinner/ meal provided at another place, as the second part is only for family and close relatives, which I will cover in the next blog entry
第一的婚禮到此結束，通常朋友們到此就會離開或到安排好的地點去用餐
第二部分的婚禮是只有家人和近親才能出席的，下次再續。。。
