Wedding & Tea Ceremony - 拜堂 Bai Tang /奉茶 Feng Cha

After the bride arrived at the groom’s house, the couple will pay homage (respect) to the heaven and earth. They will then worship the ancestors. And the bride and groom will also bow to each other.

Finally, tea with two lotus seeds or red dates will be offered to groom’s parents. After which, they will serve tea to the other relatives of the groom’s family according to the seniority. The more senior/elderly relatives who are served tea will present the groom & bride with red packets or a bridal jewelry. The younger relatives/children that are younger than the bride & groom, will in turn serve tea to the bride & groom and receive a red packet. This is generally practiced in both traditional and modern tea
ceremony.
