This was SO much fun! An old-style wedding party, complete with musicians, paraded by our apartment yesterday, so we ran down and followed them.
The happy groom rode on horseback to pick up the bride at her apartment building. Musicians and attendants carried banners--the Year of the Dragon--a good year to be married. They danced along the streets to the constant music.
There were firecrackers, of course, and the entertainers danced and clowned around some more while waiting for the bride to come out.
We only got a brief glimpse of her before she was veiled and seated in the palanquin. Then they were off again, through the streets of town.
It was fun, seeing all the onlookers grin happily as they watched or passed by.
