Ian, tell your wife not to wear black or white (reserved for funerals) .. for you is OK

If you are staying for Chinese New Year do not wear black, white or yellow (red is the best color for that day) and be ready to handle hongbao's; $10 US for kids is OK, again careful with the number of bills and the meaning i.e. 44 or any number ending in 4 is VERY bad (number 4 sounds like death)

I will PM my wife's cell number if you need a crash course in chinese weddings and traditions.
