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.
