One of my favorite photos from my Dad's Chinese albums is this one. The photo is of a horse-drawn Chinese wedding coach.

To imagine that after fighting and occupation there were those who were willing to look into the future and see brighter days ahead! There is a lesson in that for all of us. Life does go on -as it must.

I know very little about Chinese wedding traditions, although I've read that those rituals and customs are elaborate. I've been reading from this site sponsored by the Chinese Historical and Cultural Project.
