[quote=Anonymous]This is how I would do it to merge cultures:

- Chinese tea ceremony in the morning. Its a usually more intimate affair with the bride and groom's immediate family and close friends anyway. You can dress in traditional garb for that.

Gifts of gold and jewelery are kind of symbolic and usually given prior to the wedding day anyway. The whole dowry stuff is also given prior to the wedding day. You really an do without it...this is the modern ages. When I think bridal dowry I think money grubbing parents.

- Western/church? ceremony in the afternoon

- Reception - I would find a space where I can hire two caterers. People who want a western dinner can opt for that and people who want a chinese dinner can opt for that. Asides from the chinese food..i mean if you went to asia the hotels have the same flowers and decor and whatever, just the food is different. All cultures appreciate an open bar unless they eschew alcohol.

In fact, the way I just described it would be how an Asian couple does it in Hong Kong or Singapore, especially if they are church going.[/quote]
