Now, let’s get to the actual wedding. My mother briefed the wedding party on Chinese wedding games. The first is when the groom must try and enter the home of the bride.

In the picture, you can see me peeking through the window with my friends while my bridesmaids prevented my husband from entering. They made him dance like a ballerina and make up a poem professing his love for me - it was very touching. Traditionally, the groom must throw money over the door, but that made me feel uncomfortable because I felt it would be like he was buying me.
