Punctuality of Chinese Wedding dinner

Punctuality of starting the Chinese wedding dinner always been question ?
The wedding dinner often held in the evening about 7.00pm or 7.30pm according to the invitation card.
Somehow the reality is not like that.

Amazingly, sometimes this wedding dinner will start at 8.00pm, 8.30pm or 8.45pm. Surely you will get hungry if you never put on anything into the stomach earlier. The local people know this habit well.
The reasons for the wedding dinner cannot started on time are such as : each table not yet full with 8 or 10 people, wait for more people to attend, traffic jam, cannot find the location of the restaurant etc.

Better suggestion is, please have some light food before you attend to any Chinese Wedding dinner in Malaysia.

The wedding dinner mostly will finish at 10.00pm, 10.30pm or 10.45pm.
