Chinese Tea Ceremony
3:30 pm - 4:00 pm
The tea ceremony will start right at 3 pm. When you arrive, please head to the Lurline Ballroom (indoor). Late arrivals won't be accommodated to ensure a smooth ceremony, so please arrive early or on time. If you are late due to unforeseen circumstances, please wait around to attend the next part of the event. Traditionally, the Chinese tea ceremony is hosted in the morning of the wedding day when the groom arrives to pick up the bride. To honor the tradition while encouraging every guest to be a witness to the special occasion, we decided to host the tea ceremony as the first thing of the wedding.
