Been so busy with nephew's wedding. It was such a joyful and happy day and we are so happy that he finally got married...lol.
This is the chinese custom where the bridegroom need to have his hair combed by his mother and his dad has to read the phrase of good lucks. The mirror and comb are the accessories for the ritual and the ruler is to bless him with many children.
The phrase is
The first combing : from beginning till the end
The second combing : harmony from now till old age
The third combing : sons and grandsons all over the place
The fourth combing : good wealth and a long-lasting marriage.
Eating of Glutinous rice balls or "tang yuan" for good luck.
Then there will be a tea ceremony where the wedding couple would serve tea to the elders and in return they get gifts of money or gold.
Wedding gift to bride...........sorry cannot show you inside contents of the box cause it does not belongs to me...lol
