bride\u2019s desire to recognise her cultural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a traditional tea ceremony in the afternoon to pay respects to the elders in our families,\u201d recalls Bickay, 33. \u201cI wore a traditional Chinese red wedding dress \u2026 and was gifted ornate gold bangles and lucky red envelopes by my elders to congratulate us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Their ceremony and reception took place at the one venue, Tinakilly Country house in Rathnew, Ireland, with 183 guests. \u201cWe printed booklets to explain the different details of how we chose our \u2018auspicious\u2019 wedding date, the importance of the colour red and the meaning of the tea ceremony for our guests so that they were included as much as possible on the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bickay and Bazz, 34, cut out traditional wedding items including a cake and expensive flowers so they could put more energy into things that mattered to them, such as the music. \u201cA former musician, Bazz was in charge of the music,\u201d explains the bride. \u201cConor Deasy and Bazz sang all of the songs prior to the ceremony, which began with Bazz singing me up the aisle to Tom Brosseau\u2019s <em><u>We Were Meant to be
