In addition to the traditional Western wedding gifts, couples at a Chinese wedding will be given small, red envelopes filled with money. The couple collects these packets from the guests as they visit the tables, or guests deposit the packets in a designated box. Large sums of money often accumulate, so many couples hire a security guard to watch the money box.
Well, I found this on one website. So that means I have to purchase a gift as well as give them money. This could prove to be quite expensive but she is such a nice girl and I love her family. Both her Mom and Dad work were I do and she use to work under me as a data entry clerk. I know that she will wear white for the ceremony and red for the banquet. I guess I'd better go shopping this weekend.
