Let's Go Get Jason A Wife!

Dec 2nd, 2006...with a bridal bouquet we went to get Jason a wife.
Getting a chinese a wife is not as simple as just getting down on your knees and propose. It's pretty much like an obstacle course. First you assemble your heng tais...that's "brothers". Basically they consist of your bro's, brother and cousin brother.

It also helps that you have a bestman to prepare your itenary for the day right up to the yum seng session. Here's jason with his heng tais all ready for the obstacle that lay ahead.

Here we are in 5 cars right in front of the bride's house making a ruckus just so the family knows we are here. Basically we wake the whole neighbourhood up.
Occasionally a brothers looses some hair for the groom. This depends on the demands of the bride's chee moois. Yes, the bride has her "sisters" on her side too. This heng tai lost 10 strands of his leg hair to the chee moois. The rest of the heng tais would have given some hair but none of us was as hairy as this brave chap.
Beware the maiden that brings forth drinks for the groom. The contain bitter, sweet, sour and hot..as in chili hot, drinks that the groom is to partake in. Of course the heng tais will assist.
The flower girl...not! Here's the brother with the floral bouquet for the bride. Finally after much persuasion and bribing of the chee moois with ang pows, basically after they have run out of ideas for torturing the heng tais, they open the door and allow the groom in.
