Not Just Any Wedding

So last night the lady friend and I were set to go to dinner at a Thai place with a mutual friend. Then he called and said he had to change plans and at the last minute go to a wedding reception, and he wanted to know if we would like to come along too as his guests. Hell yeah! Chinese weddings are awesome. There is lots of good food, flowing booze, and tons of toasts.

But this was not just any wedding. This was a mafia wedding. One of the sons(?) of one of the top 5 mafia groups in Taiwan was being married and our mutual friend's family has--lets say--a connection to some of these groups.

It was pretty awesome. There were tough-looking body guards dressed in black all over (they formed phalanxes around the top guys and formed a tunnel to get into the wedding). Another guy had a shaved head with a dragon tattoo on it. At least one person I met was rumored to have killed someone. Oh yeah, some of the top Taiwanese mafia dons were also in attendance(I got pictures with them and I'll try and post as soon as my friend passes them along).

Thing was, I was the only white guy there. But I'm used to that now.

Edit: Here are the pictures from the wedding. I blacked out the faces of the mafia guys. I also blacked out my lady friend's face per my policy of not showing here in a public forum.
