Haha... a historical thing happens when the 'Dai Kam Jie' enters the house to handover the basket to the bride's parents. Frankly, this is so fun and I was quick shock as well, as I haven't see this happen. What happen was when the 'Dai Kam Jie' enters the door, Kok Mun and his bestman went in together and succeeded. Can you believe this??? They just escape from the 'door game'. Everyone was so shock especially the bridesmaids...


*-What happen???


*-Wah... Brother, like that also can ah!??? haha...

After a while, Kok Mun decided to come out and prepare for the 'door game'. What they need to do is the groom and his brothers need to finish the food prepared by the bridesmaids, consisting of sweet, sour, hot and bitter, resembles the two newly weds will stay together no matter what happens.

  
-Sweet & Sour                                                                                   -HOt

 - BittEr

 *-Sure??! Need to finish everything ah???

 
-Brother, let me help you.....                                                            *-Not bad wor.....

  
*-OK... I will finished the Chocs...                                    -Very sweet, Rachel...

 *-Wuuuaahhhh!!! Tats sour......

All the brothers are so cooperative and managed to finished the food prepared. After receiving the red packets from the groom, the bridesmaids allowed him to go in for the bride. While waiting for praying and tea ceremony, lets see some of the photos taken...

Right after the photo session, the groom and bride went to the living hall for prayers and tea ceremony. After all the occasions, is time for the bride to go to the groom's house.

Dai Kam Jie - a lady whos job is to make sure that the marriage procedure goes correctly and to keep the a cheering atmosphere

Door game - originated from ancient time which implies that the bride is a lovely girl and her family and friends do not want to marry her away.  The groom will be blocked at the bride's door, and her friends will try to stop him from entering by asking questions about the bride, a way to test if he really cares about her.  They may also do other tricks to delay the bride's leaving.  The groom will try to buy his way in by presenting "Li Shi", token money wrapped in red envelops. The entire "bargain" process is joyous and good-natured. (taken from http://www.chinabridal.com/etiquette/procession.htm)
