Scenes From A Wedding - Tea Offering Ceremony at Henley Point, Sydney

Scenes From A Wedding - Ballast Point Park, Sydney

Miss Ely Yap held a marriage commitment ceremony with Mr Ray Lin in Birchgrove on 18 September 2010, surrounded by panoramic Sydney views, a sparkling spring afternoon and more than a hundred of relatives, mates and well-wishers.

The bouquets held by the bridesmaids matched the adornments of the groomsmen. Yachts and ferries passed by lazily in the background. Finger food and drinks were served. The father of the bride, Mr Boo Ann Yap, beamed under the Australian sun, as he walked in with the radiant bride on hand.

Ceremony attendees came all over the globe, including Malaysia, California, New Zealand and more.

During the Straits Chinese styled tea offering ceremony, relatives gather

in front of the bridal couple. The tea is infused with longan slices and tastes sweeter than what would be otherwise served at yum cha brunches.
