To being with the background, I am chinese and my FI is western. We have agreed to do a chinese tea cermony but I am having a bit of trouble explaining it to his family. Any advice on where to start and how to explain the tradition and meaning behind it. Also, the FI has lots of family here whereas I have ony a bit, what do we do about his extended family of uncles and aunts, do we include them in the tea ceremony as well??
also, should I have no lai see or should this be explained as well? I don't want it to seem like that is why it is being done but I don't want people to feel awkward at the ceremony. any advice would be great!
