Kunshan/Shanghai Trip - Chinese Wedding

IMG_1134

One of my closest friends in Uni has finally tied the knot! The wedding took place on May 18th at her hometown, Kunshan, China. I got to be one of the bridesmaids with other 2 girls, whom one of them is my Uni mate as well, so we flew to Shanghai over the weekend. There were lots of food, drinks, driving, and zero beauty sleep. Let the photos do the talking!

What a beautiful bride your friend made! And you look very pretty too. So nice to attend a friend's wedding, and I'm so jealous of that feast!
