The dates where I've had the wonderful opportunities to witness 2 persons journeying into a new phase of their lives, committed to live and function as an inter-depending unit. My extended family is now growing and growing and growing and growing.....not that I'm complaining.
:: 1986 ::
- My first family member wedding. Sorry, I put at 1986, but I cannot be too certain. Might be circa 86-88. My mother's younger brother as the main man. Children are all grown up now -
:: June 11th, 1994 ::
- My mother's youngest brother got hitched on this day. They now have 3 princesses. -
:: June xx, 2005 ::
- My mother's second sister's second daughter got married this day. Typical chinese wedding, but I missed the morning part, as I was slaving then. Sorry. She's a mother of 1 now. -
:: Dec 26th, 2005 ::
- My mother's eldest sister's only daughter's marriage day. My first as a ji-mui, but useless one. We drove all the way to her husband's place, which was about an hour and half drive away. After a difficult early stage pregnancy, she's now a happy mom of an angel. -
:: Feb 18th, 2006 ::
- My father's second brother's daughter's wedding reception in our hometown. Held in hotel, buffet style, they had designed their wedding photos and invites themselves. She has a happy chubby, laidback son, named not unsimilar to the water heater-brand. -
:: Dec 31st, 2006 ::
- My father's youngest brother threw a wedding reception for his elder daughter. Chinese dinner, with tons of karaoke and reunions. -
:: May 30th, 2008 ::
- My father welcomed a daughter in-law officially to our home, according to chinese customs. My mother's first Cheongsam escapade. Typical chinese dinner with a 'banana' flavour, English speaking hosts! My first experience as a bridesmaid. -
:: June 14th 2008 ::
- My father's second brother's only son got married this day. All wedding committee members, including leading man and woman wore traditional chinese attire, which was cheongsam for the ladies and samfu for the guys. Chinese dinner with a twist, local band. -
:: so far, there's not set date for the next 'family' wedding. Observing the trend, might skipped a year before 2 come along in the same year. Who knows. But definitely, mine's not in the cards, yet. For better or for worse, I wish them happiness and congratulate them for the strength to share and daringness to move forward. Wonder if there are any takers for today's 090908. I know 101010 has been booked ::
