Paying respects to the groom's ancestors, as depicted in this photograph, is part of the traditional Chinese wedding ceremony. On this auspicious day, the bridal couple also serve tea to their elders as a mark of respect. The elders in turn give the newlyweds ‘hong baos’ or red packets that symbolise their blessings.
