Aunty Suprana's Wedding

Thursday morning was Craig's first-ever opportunity to attend a wedding!! Craig's Aunty Suprana and her "friend" Dean were the happy couple.


Craig watched the preparations from the lap of his Great Aunt from the Second Floor, who now lives on the fifth floor so she will need a change of name!


Craig's Mum took part in the ceremony. She held the rings.


Craig watched while Great Aunt from the Fifth Floor kept him under control.


While the happy couple were exchanging rings, Craig's cousin Soit-Jade got up very close and some adults even gathered around to take pictures! Weddings in Taiwan are not the very formal events that you find in Western countries.


Craig got up close to the action as well.


This picture just missed catching the throwing of flower petals on top of the happy couple.


It's a bit of a shame that in the one photo taken with Craig's Dad's camera-phone of the whole family at the wedding, that Craig turned his back to the camera. He was busy playing with the business card of the Notary Public that performed the marriage.


Aunty Suprana's friends also gathered for a quick photo.


The wedding banquet was an informal affair. A buffet lunch at the Hyatt Hotel. Craig's Uncle Dean seemed to appreciate the opportunity to eat some Western-style food for a change.


But, during the meal, Craig was often a bit restless. He caused quite a bit of trouble for his Mum and she had to take him for a walk at least three times. He really liked walking around in the lobby perhaps because it is a very large open space.


But, each time he returned to his seat after going for a walk, Craig would become restless again quite quickly making it difficult for his Mum to have a leisurely lunch.


Craig's Dad thinks that the photo above shows how much Craig and his Mum look alike when they look unhappy.



Don't you agree?
