A modern wedding with Chinese characteristics


"Like in every other aspect of Chinese society today, money is featured prominently throughout the wedding ceremony. The director of the show was a cameraman from a wedding company. I find him and his camera very intrusive. When my sister handed over her envelope to her son, the cameraman shouted: 'Stop! The envelope should be handed over to the bride.' They had to do it again. Later on during the evening ceremony, the cameraman rather rudely snatched off Kirsty’s Lady Gaga hat, complaining it obscured Kirsty’s face but that was just the style my daughter desired!"
