A Chinese Wedding Feast in San Francisco’s Chinatown
A historic wedding in the Chinese quarter united Lee You, head of the Grand Chinese Restaurant, and Miss Ah Chung of sixteen, amid lavish gifts and a grand banquet for about 400 guests at 710 Jackson Street. The affair featured a dual menu of Chinese and American dishes, ceremonial gatecrash, and a formal three day celebration with male and female guests separated for propriety. The bride’s return to her parents follows the event, with the husband later joining his wife back at home.
