May 25, 2008: Chinese Wedding

I believe it's the custom in Japan, and maybe China, that the formal wedding portraits are taken before the big day. They are staged in choice settings with backgrounds and accoutrement's like balloons, or rose petals, to make a memorable portrait(s), of the happy couple.


On the happy, but often hectic, day of the wedding, with all the stress of getting everyone to the right place, at the right time, the ceremony takes place.

The person officiating says something like, "If there is anyone here can show just cause why this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now, or forever hold your peace.

<Poignant pause> then...



If I were the bride or groom, this would give me pause.

But the groom wants to grab the garter and get on with it.


So they troop off to the reception and a drink... or three.


I'm sure every bride wants a memorable wedding day. This bride got one.

Too bad the earthquake didn't hit at night. That would have made for a memorable, earth-shakin' honeymoon story.

Oh no! Can you imagine the hell that guy would go through trying to repeat that performance?

I recall Radar's (non earthquake) wedding pics. They were very much posed. so much so that he was able to add humorous titles to them. remember that? Yeah, good times...

This is in China, remember? If this room is a rockin', don't bring the wok in.


(I don't get it either. Just seemed amusing at the time.)
