A Wedding in America.

Hi! It’s me, Chris, back from a long relaxing vacation in New York and Virginia.

My flight to America was not direct. I had a layover in Shanghai. So it took me 20 hours to get home, and the trip back was even longer!

I went home to visit family and for my cousin’s wedding. The ceremony was outside, in the morning, on a beautiful sunny day. At noon we had the reception (food, drinks, dancing, bouquet toss, speeches) inside.

Afterwards, she and her husband (I’m still not used to saying that) went to Hawaii for their honeymoon. Of course, my aunts and uncles were asking me and my other cousins who will be getting married next.

My cousin’s wedding was one of the highlights of my trip back to America. Now I want to go to different weddings and see how people from different countries celebrate!

Here are some pictures that I took at the wedding, enjoy!

These are the bridesmaids and groomsmen – special friends and family of the bride and groom that stand together with them during the ceremony. My sister was a bridesmaid; it was her job to help my cousin make preparations for the wedding and get ready on the wedding day.

Here is my cousin and her husband just after they got married. Look how happy they are! This is their wedding cake.

This is me, my mom, dad and sister at the reception.

Here is my cousin tossing her bouquet. It is said that the woman that catches the bouquet will be the next person to get married.
