Wedding Party

Sunday - Typhoon Fanapi didn't stop us from attending Ilonah's wedding banquet in Miaoli. The truth is, we didn't feel the storm since it was dry and a bit sunny.

I've been to several engagement and wedding banquets in Taiwan, but I was pretty excited on this date because the bride was Vincent's niece. At my age, most of my friends are married hence I don’t have much chance to go to weddings. So even though the venue was in Miaoli, there was no way that we would miss it.









A typical wedding banquet in Taiwan consists mainly of lots of food and alcohol, wedding photos, the bride changes gowns at least three times, picture taking, and that's it.


Odd as it seems, most Taiwanese weddings take place at banquet halls. This shouldn’t come as a surprise as Chinese people take food very seriously, much like a religion; therefore, restaurants are our places of worship.

A small glass of whiskey I was forced to drink up. Unfortunately, we were seated with a bunch of ladies who were pretty good at drinking. Well, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Cheers!


Good gracious! This is what happens when you pretend you can handle alcohol, but in fact your face turns as red as cherry lips and you want to throw up everything you've just pigged out.


Posing with CJ after the event. Truth be told, every banquet I've been in Taiwan was awfully boring. I don't understand why people just come, feast on the food, and leave. Sometimes I wish I could be a wedding coordinator and make this most special day of somebody's life worth remembering. If you're reading this and you're planning to get married - I'm your man! I mean I can make your wedding day 'the most unforgettable time of your life.' Don't worry about my fee - I'm pretty flexible.

Most of these photos were taken by CJ - all credit to him. I'm bloody lazy at taking photos.
