Mitchell Burke and Nicole Eng who will be married in September held a traditional Chinese wedding tea ceremony at Nicole’s parents house.

Relatives and friends gathered for the ceremony. The tea ceremony is a common wedding tradition in Chinese culture when the bride and groom pay their respects and show their gratitude towards their parents, new in-laws, and elders by serving them tea. In turn, their families will give their blessings to the newlyweds by gifting them “hong baos” (red envelopes with gifts).
