Tea Time
One of the integral parts of a Chinese wedding is the tea ceremony. This involves the bride and groom serving tea to the groom's grandparents, parents, uncles, and aunts. For us, this meant buying a tea set. J's parents dont' entertain, so they don't have a service! 
I found this at Life Plaza today. It's classic, but cute enough that I'd be happy to use it in the future, and came with plenty of cups. Plus I think the blue will be very pretty in photos (I know, crazy bride alert. Who thinks of these things?)
And you know how when you shop at a Chinese place, you usually end up with odds and ends that were either "free" or "closes to free"? It's a long story, but we ended up with two of these cups and saucers, just for me and Jimmy. It goes with my yellow Le Creuset tea pot: adorably rustic. Finally, I can drink my matcha milk tea in style.

Cute teapot/cups set. I always see those sets at Life Plaza, but thought they're really expansive comparing to the sets in Little Tokyo. But since there are free 'gifts', it's still a good deal. ^^

The quality at Life Plaza is generally higher than that of the stores in Little Tokyo. Of course, if you're looking for every day stuff you can't beat those $1 tables! But since Life is having a 70% off sale, it's really worth a look.
