Hi all in the forum,
Ville-Pekka (Faroth) and I are getting married next summer and decided to have Traditional Wing Chun theme in your wedding.
I would love to hear if you have some hints and ideas on how to make Wing Chun visible there.
For now we have decided the color theme to be white, black and red (like in the sign of the school) and to give a presentation of Wing Chun (Siu Lim Tao and a couple of drills) during the feast. But everything else is quite undecided.
Any new ideas would make your day extra special! Thank you very much in advance!   _________________ "As you think, so shall you become." - Bruce Lee

Hi!
Interesting idea.
What is the town where you plan your wedding?
And what is your goal for adding WingChun elements there?   _________________ Вячеслав Мащенко   |

Dear Procyona, don't tell Vlad ( vmashchenko ) the city name, you risk he will come for wedding without invitation ( joke).   |

Thank you guys! And thank you for the hint, Sihing.
We'll have the wedding in our home town in Finland, a city called Kuusamo.
If you want to travel that far, you are quite welcome to come.
Because we met doing Wing Chun, it is cool to share stuff we do together for the wedding guests. It is also for them to know what Wing Chun looks like and maybe share ideas of a path for your own destiny.   _________________ "As you think, so shall you become." - Bruce Lee

Congratulations on the upcoming nuptials!
You may have some WC symbols embroidered onto your dress or his tie (or whatever you guys decide to wear). Maybe you could actually decide to wear traditional Chinese cloths.
Are you planning a "big" wedding with guests and big feast? Or smaller affair with only close friends and family?   _________________ What doesn't destroy me, makes me stronger. - F. Nietzshe

Thank you, Irene! It's a fun event to plan.
I like the idea with the symbol. It should be easier to make than the whole dresses, too. I have the dress picked already.
We are inviting just close friends and relatives, spending more on good food and the atmosphere.   _________________ "As you think, so shall you become." - Bruce Lee

Thank you everyone!
As Milla said it's a really fun event to plan and when we start this early there shouldn't be too much of a hurry.
The symbol idea sounds cool. Where could we get those or are them something we can do ourselfs?   _________________ "Having 2 ears and one tongue means we should listen twice as much as we speak."

I do like the idea of coming to the ceremony in Wing Chun stances.

Embroidering is very detailed work and is best done with a machinery, I think. There are some companies near us that sell those works, but I don't know if they do just one or two. And because they have to make a new 'mold' for a pattern, it costs extra.
But it's something we can definitely think about.   _________________ "As you think, so shall you become." - Bruce Lee

Congragulations, people!
Its realy great that you find each others during wing chun trainigs!
I think you should NOT perform a drills on a wedding party.
Use principles, tell people how they help you in your releshionships, in everyday life. Perform application of principles in a different way but drills. Small theatric sceen or a play.
Whatever you choose, dont forget to send us a video   _________________ {per aspera ad astra}

Thank you, Художник. It sure is great to have met and to train together.
Thank you for your suggestion as well. I like the idea of a small play. Maybe we can even give people a list of wing chun principles, and they can guess which principle we use in which scene. I am sure we can film it for you!
Another way to show principles would be to gather quotes that go with them, and give them away with wedding candy (a tradition in Finland).   _________________ "As you think, so shall you become." - Bruce Lee

This is very nice people. Thank you so much!
I cannot guarantee you a certain kind of video, but I will see to that we have something to share for you.
Irene, if you are interested in Finnish wedding traditions, there are a bunch of them. Quite popular are the kidnapping the bride and tossing away bride's items for the unmarried to catch. (Who gets the item is going to get married next summer.) Also, there is the wedding waltz and the married couple's competition of speed when cutting the wedding cake. Every nation has their own, I think.
What kind of traditions do you have in Ukraine by the way? Maybe we can get inspired and make a mix if we like some.   _________________ "As you think, so shall you become." - Bruce Lee
