		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a part of a few tea ceremonies during Chinese weddings now, usually helping to get the tea ready or helping to organize the gifts received by the couple. At my good friend&#8217;s wedding she wanted me to be the person that actually passes the tea to the couple. Traditionally the &#8220;tea person&#8221; doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

In addition, my friends have asked me a question that I have no answer to: Are you going to do the hair combing ceremony? Why a hair combing ceremony? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After my own experience dealing with dowry, I was curious to find out what is actually included on the gift list. I found a post on a Hong Kong wedding forum (A Wedding HK) with a list of items required from the bride and groom&#8217;s family. I&#8217;ve copied and pasted it here. It includes the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[*continue from the previous dowry post*
Honestly, I didn&#8217;t know about this part at all. I knew that the parents and close relatives of the bride usually give her gold jewelries as gifts. I didn&#8217;t know people still see this a status symbol, a.k.a how wealthy the bride&#8217;s family is. When my mom asked me &#8220;What [...]]]></description>
