On the day of a traditional Chinese wedding, relatives and friends are invited to a reception at the homes of the bridal couple to witness the traditional tea ceremony or the focal point of the wedding proceedings. As a mark of respect and gratitude, the newlyweds serve tea to their parents and elderly family members. This is done in order of seniority, from the eldest to the youngest.
