Taiwan Trip: June 9 - Nick and Vicky's Wedding

Nick, accompanied by his family and friends, was driven to the Yang home. Although, they were already legally married, Nick and Chen Wen (Vicky's real name) enacted the traditional engagement ceremony where the groom requests the bride's hand from her father. There is drinking of sweet tea and the delivery of nominal presents in the form of money in red envelopes (hong bao). This ceremony was augmented by an exchange of rings.

That evening we were guests at a wedding banquet put on by the the Yang family at the Hiton Hotel. Jack and Rick gave their toasts in English with professional translation by Vicky's cousin Ruby. Nick delivered his toast in Chinese. Jill caught the bouquet.
