We usually get our wedding invitation card before the wedding, but for my friend Sally, I got hers after attending the wedding. When I first saw the card from my friend Shux, I told Sally that I definitely want her to send it to me (by whatever means). While I was supposed to get it from her prior to her wedding when I was in Hong Kong, we didn’t had the time to catch up, which means we didn’t get to meet and she didn’t get a chance to pass it to me. But Sally is nice enough to get another friend to send it to me and I finally got it.
Each card comes with a red packet (its purple colour in this case). This means that if you receive the card, even if you can’t attend, you are required to “return” something back to the couple. This is just one of the many local practices that I’ve learnt while I was attending the wedding then.
I’m not too sure if I’ll ever get another chance to attend an overseas wedding but this is definitely one memorable experience. With this invitation card, it marks a perfect ending to this memorable March trip to Hong Kong.

Hey Patrick, thanks for responding. Really enjoying your blog. I am inspired that you can post something every 2 days or so. This is what I’m striving to do. Just joined twitter about 8 days ago and still learning the 140-character thingy.
