I'd love to post pictures from the wedding of my favorite thesis teacher from my study abroad session in Bejing 2007, Yang huiling, BUT, my camera was stolen in Dali, and since then, I've been using other people's cameras. Unfortunately, in this instance, I used Ryan Judd's camera, who I haven't emailed yet, so NO photos can be posted. I am going to email him now.
I did learn several things, which I can share with you, but are just not as exciting without pictures. First of all, Chinese weddings can be huge and are essentially huge dinners of feasting. Yang laoshi stood outside the venue in her white dress and make up and greeted me before I walked into this huge banquet hall. Inside, she and her husband thanked her parents and his parents before she changed into a tight red fishtail dress and went to cheers every table that attended her wedding. Meanwhile, I proceeded to celebrate my first giant meal in a legitimate Chinese city by stuffing my face. Noms. At the end of the wedding, Yang laoshi's close friends, including me!, went upstairs to a suite where KTV had to happen! Yes, I sang Bad Romance with an emphasis on BAAAD.
Pictures to come! It was such an exciting opportunity to be able to see Yang laoshi 4 years after I studied abroad in China and participate in the beautiful celebration of her nuptials!
