Margaret + Aaron
Chinese Wedding Tea Ceremony // Cai Fine Dining & Banquet // Chicago Chinatown

Margaret + Aaron got married in a beautiful rustic ceremony in Maryland. A week later they jetted off to Chicago to celebrate their marriage with a traditional Chinese wedding tea ceremony in the heart of Chicago's Chinatown.

Their elegant tea ceremony as well as the reception took place at Cai Fine Dining & Banquet hall. There was plenty of laughter, hugs, speeches, 10 course family style dinner (which was both amazing and delicious!) and even traditional Chinese lion dancers! I shed a couple of tears during Mr. Wong's speech, shared laughs with the rest of the family and felt so welcomed by everyone at the reception. The evening was rich in tradition, incredibly family oriented and oh, so special.

The tea ceremony was beautiful. Margaret + Aaron bowed and served tea to their elders to show them respect and gratitude for all the years of love they have showed them. It was simple, beautiful, and so meaningful. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special Chicago day. Wishing you and your family all the best!
