Manling and Sam's wedding last Saturday was the most exciting and unforgettable wedding party I have participated so far. They scheduled their registration ceremony together with the banquet at noon and then they reserved a bar at night for celebrating with friends. The story behind was that the couple first met each other in this bar and so they booked the same venue for their big day! The night party was a scene of laughter and tears. It was themed "Oscar Night" with guests all dressed up like Hollywood stars. There was a red carpet leading from the doorway and film posters hanging on the wall with the couple simulating the protagonist. When guests arrived they would be asked to sign on a big backdrop with the couple's photo hanging from the ceiling. Everybody under our flashlights looked just like a star! So funny!
The climax of the night sure was the time when the couple marched in on the red carpet. After they marched on the stage under the blinding flashlights, they were asked to act a short clip taken from the film "他來自江湖". Our bride is actually a member of an opera troupe so their acting was very entertaining. I was amazed at the fact that I seem to have an unexplanable ties with opera troupe. I have shooted posters for a few troupe before and now I met another troupe members. What a coincidence!
Another climax of the night was a little game for the guests where 10 film-related questions were asked. Those who first got the correct answers could get a big red packet from the couple. After the game and following the couple's toast, the party officially began. We were so much absorbed in this hilarious atmospere we stayed around till 12am. We really were having a great time! Thanks Manling and Sam!
