Wedding lunch involved a certain amount of ceremony:
We were allowed to eat a bit as seen in these pictures, but before that by the fourth dish arriving we had to get up and go round each table pouring wine, and then again handing out cigarettes. There were 15 tables including in all the rooms of the old house and Eldest Uncle’s house next door.
I was, perhaps meaningfully, perhaps not, sat on a table with more children and a pregnant girl.
Officially brothers in law finally.
The family from Changsha had to go back straight after lunch. What a trip for one lunch!
After this I thought it was all over. But actually I then had to go to second lunch with some proper drinking:
I have no idea what I did for the rest of the afternoon. Everyone else just took more photos:
Oh, there I am - can’t remember doing that.
In the evening we had a dinner with only about 40 people.
Jenny drank more than me with no apparent effect apart from even more words per minute.
