My father-in-law wanted to bring a little Singapore into our New York wedding, so he gathered my father, my sister, her fiancé and my best friend to lead an impromptu yum seng.
For the uninitiated, yum seng translates to 'drink to success' in Cantonese and is the equivalent of "Bottoms up!' or "Cheers!". The yum is dragged out for as long as the crowd can hold and ends with a triumphant seng, and this is done three times with different auspicious sayings for each toast.
It was, as expected, a boisterous affair and the crowd loved it... best idea yet!
