Celebration, Bonding, & Renewal of Old Friendships

After the tea ceremony in the afternoon, there was a small and cosy dinner in the evening for relatives and old friends, friends from school and college days.

I feel very blessed that my classmates
and college mates came to celebrate my son's wedding.

Most of us are grandparents and there are still avid golfers among us, myself included. Here is one of my golfing buddies, although we don't golf together now as we live in different states, separated by the South China Sea.
Relatives are my siblings and their children and grandchildren and my sole surviving aunt and her daughter. Since we have a big family, there are many of us, the young ones included.

Midway during the dinner there was a rousing "Yam Seng", the toast to the newly married couple. Guests and relatives toasted to their happiness and a fruitful, long-lasting marriage. In Chinese it goes something like this, "till they grow white-haired together".
