wedding preparations

We're choosing a top and pants for our little boy now.
.
The family is excited cos' our little boy is tasked with an important role in the early morning of 16 Dec 07. He's naturally the candidate (being the bride's family youngest male) who will open the door for the groom!
.

.
The Chinese customary wedding believes that the groom, on the day to fetch his bride, must not open the car door when he arrives. He has to wait patiently in the car for the bride's younger brother to open the bridal car door for him.
.
If the bride has no younger brother, a younger male relative or a younger male friend can play the role. The candidate will open the door and pass the groom two oranges. Those two oranges will then be left in the bridal car for auspicious and good fortune. The groom will in return give this younger male a red packet as a token and auspicious for opening the car door.
