Kidd, named after the basketball player Jason Kidd,
was one of my students in 2002/3,
and became one of my best friends in China.
Kidd and and his lovely wife Flora
held their wedding function in their hometown,
Panjin, Liaoning, on 7 January 2008,
and were kind enough to invite me.
Peter, another former student, me, and Kidd.
Tradition has it that, after the formalities,
the bride changes into a red dress.
The after-party was held that evening.
On the menu: a fish,
crab,
and moonshine. Lots of moonshine !!
The bride and groom were put through some games.
Creating as much embarresment as decently possible.
Kidd and Flora
were having a good time.
Kid's brother is a policeman,
so I promptly named him Sarge.
There was a lot of eating,
and ..., many a friendship forged.
And in the end, save those that had passed out,
all were happy for Kidd and Flora.
