Eve of My Wedding - 梳头仪式

On the eve of my wedding, at 11pm (the auspiscious time), both sides of the groom and bride have to go through the 梳头仪式 (which I think is for the Cantonese tradition)

We have to prepare joss sticks, 龙凤烛, 汤圆,comb, mirror, ruler & I have to wear my new pyjamas for the night. My 3rd aunt is here to help me, by reciting the 一梳,二梳...verse. Can't remember the exact verse. Then we will eat the 汤圆. My silly dear followed his mum's instructions, sayin awake to watch the 龙凤烛 finish burning, and he stayed up till 3am!! My goodness!! No wonder he is so tired the whole day of our wedding! haha...For us, we just let it continue burning (for 长长久久meaning bah) throughout the night while we go and sleep..

It is another interesting wedding tradition that I have went through, and captured it photos and video (All thanks for my dear 小弟!)
