To round out the week and wrap up the Chinese New Year themed posts, I wanted to share a beautiful wedding photo featuring the famous dragon dance tradition.  After all, it is the year of the dragon, which is considered the luckiest sign of the Chinese zodiac, making it a very auspicious time for weddings!  Wishing everyone lots of love, luck, and laughter this fortunate year!
