Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery, Jordan Station | Meng and Michael
On the beautiful day of June 26, 2022, Meng and Michael embarked on their joyous journey of love and togetherness. Their wedding day was a tapestry woven with cultural significance and modern romance, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Jordan Station, Ontario.
The festivities started with a reverential tea ceremony, a cherished Chinese tradition symbolizing respect, love, and unity. This sacred ritual held at Inn On The Twenty in Jordan Station, involved the couple serving tea to their elders as a gesture of gratitude and reverence, creating a bond between generations.
Following the tea ceremony, the atmosphere lightened as playful games started, engaging everyone present and setting a joyous tone for the day. Laughter and camaraderie filled the air, infusing the day with a sense of community and celebration.
After having a great time with their family and bridal party, it was time for Meng and Michael to go get ready for their wedding. Traditionally, during the tea ceremony, the bride wears a red satin or silk dress embellished with gold accents and jewelry. Meng, following this custom, looked elegant in her traditional red dress, honouring the cultural ritual.
Now it was time for Meng to transition from this symbolic red attire into a stunning white wedding gown, embodying the shift from one cherished tradition to another. Adorned by her mother and bridesmaids, each tender moment was a testament to the love and support surrounding her. With her makeup and hair expertly done by Hair and Makeup by Ruby, Meng radiated an elegant glow.
Meanwhile, Michael, accompanied by his best man and groomsmen, prepared with excitement and anticipation, sharing meaningful gifts and ensuring every detail was just right. Branden Murphy, the talented solo videographer from Parallel Weddings, artfully captured these intimate moments.
Amidst the breathtaking beauty of the venue, Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery, situated by a serene lake, Meng and Michael shared their 'First Look.' It was a magical moment, where love and happiness radiated from their beings, creating a memory to be cherished forever. Branden, alongside Ever After Photographers, skillfully documented this tender exchange and continued to weave the day as the photoshoot happened, beautifully capturing the couple, the bridal party, and the loving embrace of family.
