Nice table setup. Those bottles on the right with the white foil paper on top are the fanciest most expensive beer in China. They're Budweiser. haha
My host parents and I at our table.
The newly married couple.
My host dad made go up on stage. It was some kind of karaoke contest.
I had no idea what was going on, but it was fun. The MC told me to speak English to the crowd so I did. I felt like a celebrity of some sort.
The first thing you'll notice is that I'm not dressed up for a wedding. I was going to dress up, but my family told me not to. In China, dressing up for weddings is not a common practice. However, I felt really under dressed in this picture.
The cake.
Candle decoration.
The hotel ball room ceiling and chandeliers (don't know if that's how you spell it).
The wedding was a great time. The food was the best I've had in China, and it competes with any other food I've had in the States, Mexico or Venezuela.
Everyone in my table was surprised and glad to see me eat and drink so much. Don't tell my mom I said that though. haha. They were happy to see an American really enjoy their nation's food. I didn't refuse anything except cigarettes. But, after I noticed my host dad's disappointment in his face, I said yes to the next time he offered me one. Everyone in China smokes, especially in an event such as a wedding. I sucked it up and smoked two. No biggie.
My favorite was the Duck soup. It reminds me a lot of my mom's posole. But of course, my mom's posole is better. haha. Oh, I also ate snails. Didn't like the taste one bit. On top of a disturbing taste, they were sandy.

Awesome! I definitely love how you are wearing the popo shirt, you should have worn the one with the girl on the SUV, that would have been super classy...probably too classy for a wedding.
That's weird how people don't dress up for weddings over there, you should try to find out why.
Nothing wrong with a cig. or two!
lol..yeah definitely not going to wear that shirt at all while I'm in China. My host mom washes my clothes everyday, and I don't want her to see those shirts. But, I agree. That shirt would've been way too classy!
Oh and I think they don't dress up because it's just a chill atmosphere. They are there to have fun and enjoy themselves. I'll ask Tony and let you know.
