Alice stared at Nick with 'Is it true' glance, He was smiled and nodded to her. "Thank you" Alice was greatfull. The car took them back to the Feng house. Dispite born in rich family, it was first time for Alice to ride that luxury car, She felt amazing. It was very lively inside the car as they teased the bride and the groom endlessly

By 9.15 they arrived home, Alice was amased that The Feng house was decorated in red. The cloths hung around the fence as well as the front door. Double happiness character was also pinned.

Alan who had been waiting in front of the door urged them to come inside. When They were inside, Mr and Mrs Feng were sitting on chairs with double happiness sign hung in the middle.

"Groom and bride, please move forward" Ed was the emcee. His eyes didn't focus on the main leads but on a one of the bridesmaid. Nick and Alice than come forward in front of his parents.

"Bride and groom first bow to the heaven and eart" Ed shouted with smile while the bride and the groom bowed.

"Second bow to the parenst" after the second bow, Alan and Michele directed the couple to face each other.

" Third one, groom and bride bow to each other". Every one clapped their hands after Nick and Alice exchange the bow.

Tea ceremony followed after that. Nick was handed a tray with two small tea cup, he held it while Alice would served the elder with the tea. The parents were the first on to be served. after they drank the tea, Mrs Feng opened a box and pull out a nice necklace then put it on Alice neck while Mr Feng gave her the red envelope. After the parent, Alice had to serve tea to the eldest member of the family until the youngest in their parent generation. Most of the ladies gave her jewellery while the male gave red envelope.

"It's call take and give. We also had them when we are young and now is our turn to give it to younger generation" Grand Uncle smiled as he felt nostalgic.

"Grands, will you give the same thing to my bride ?" Sean pouted to grandma.Every one was giggled at Sean, he acted like little boy.

"Definitely, just fine one now" Grandma patted his arm as Sean was holding her.

Tea ceromony normally involve bot groom and bride side. IF Alice family was presented, Nick was the one who serve it. But in their case, since no one from alice side was there, it was ended after Mrs Feng youngest cousin had been served. By the end of the ceremony, Alice looked like a mobile jewelery store with some necklace hanging on her neck and bracelets on both her arms. Mr Feng took the red envelopes and inserted them to all pockets in his tux and his trousers.

"Dad, My pockets are still empty. Please free to put some on mine" Sean teased.

"Get married soon " Mr Feng glared at his second son.

"I'll wait until next year , Dad. So you can give me and Michelle more" Alan winked.

Mr Feng shook his head helplessly before continued with made a wish"we hope you can have a good carrier and job so you will be able to provide good live for your family in the future".
