Candy’s wedding is the main reason we decided to make the trip to Hong Kong. Even before we had the offer to move to Singapore we were considering coming over for her wedding. Candy is one of Travis’ coworkers for the past 6 years and she lives in Hong Kong. Her wedding was a wonderful Chinese experience. The wedding festivities started sometime in the afternoon with a traditional game called Mahjong (most similar to our game of dominoes). Since we do not know how to play Mahjong, we did not arrive until almost 8pm but the games were still going strong by the time we arrived!

Throughout the evening, Candy wore four different beautiful dresses (see photos above). Before the wedding, she also wore a traditional red, Chinese wedding dress in the morning and also another western style dress for pictures, neither of which we saw. We ONLY got to see four!! They were all very beautiful and so was she. She looked like a movie star…so much so that Travis almost didn’t recognize her!! In one of the pictures you see Candy with all of her gold jewelry. It is a tradition in China to receive gold in a dowry and also as gifts from guests. It is a sign of wealth, the more the better!
