Yen Li and Peter Han had a warm reception at La Venta Inn on June 14, 2009. Along with many other fun and festive formalities, the couple put together a Chinese tea ceremony for their parents. Yen and Peter also concluded the tea ceremony with a white dove release.
Chinese Tea Ceremony
The order of the Chinese tea service is usually the following:
- parents,
- grandparents,
- grand-uncles and grand-aunties,
- uncles and aunties,
- elder brothers and sisters,
- elder cousins
However, some families prefer to serve the grandparents before the parents. Within each generation, dad's relatives are served before mom's relatives. It is important to address your relatives correctly!
White Dove Release Ceremony
Doves choose one partner for life and make this commitment until death. The white dove has been used throughout history as a symbol of Love, Peace, Purity, Faithfulness and Prosperity. It is said that if doves are seen on your wedding day, a happy home is assured. These birds released here today represent the love and commitment you have given to one another this day. From this day forward, when ever you see a white dove, may you be reminded of this moment"
