The Fan Ritual

I actually got 2 fans as part of my Ke Tseng.  One was from Singapore and the other was from Hong Kong.

On my wedding day, I held the fan as I walked out of my room all the way toward the hotel driveway. 


Before I got inside the car, I gently threw the fan to the floor.

My mom picked it up.

This symbolized that as I leave my "old home", in this case the my hotel suite,I don't take all my luck with me. By doing the ritual, old folks believe that plenty more luck would stay with my family.

Si mama extreme hoarder edition yan so hopefully she hoarded lots of luck because of this tradition.


Still On Pause,
