My First Asian Wedding!!

I attended my first Asian wedding today, it was interesting to notice the significant differences in celebrations and culture and not surprisingly I was the only black person in the crowd and my friend the only white...

I did not let this faze me, I did ponder whether I was being stared at however I think it would have all been in my head. Due to late notification I was not dressed in Asian garms however I did remember to make sure I was modestly covered, and despite the pictures below I did wear a shawl to cover my cleavage... Funny but the the first and last time I wore this dress I was at another friends wedding, and I also happened to be the only black person in the crowd as it was a Greek wedding.






All in all, it was an interesting but enjoyable couple of hours.

  2. Thanks. The food I was really good, I didn't eat a lot though. Think I was so hungry that by the time I saw food I couldn't really eat much, but they had lots of food, can't say I'm a fan of the deserts though.
