Wedding Feast in China

By now the world knows China a bit better after the recent Beijing Olympic Games. The Opening Ceremony was such an amazing, beautiful and exciting event. The sheer scale of it was astonishing. From this alone, I guess many would have realized how the Chinese people celebrate important occasions.

Bring it a bit closer to the ordinary folks living in smaller towns or even rural villages, the spirit of celebrating a wedding occasion is a big cultural event. Not to the scale of an Olympics event but still by any measure its BIG! Take a look at some photos of such an event shown below. You would have noticed that it is impossible to leave out anyone in the town! Moreover they turn up to share the joy, rain or shine! Wonder how many people have experienced this cultural extravaganza.

Literally you are feeding an army here. I guess there is no restaurant big enough to accommodate all the guests! One gets the feeling of the comradeship here in China and the tremendous support given for such joyous occasion like a wedding!
