Ready for the big day

Yes, my son is getting married soon. Both the couple wanted a simple marriage but the boss insisted on a wedding dinner.

The date was chosen last year. Nothing much was planned. But recently, my sister-in-law said that something must be done according to the Hakka culture even though the bride is a Christian.

First of all, a prayer to the ancestors must be carried out. Some preparation are needed to be done such as getting the right stuff for prayers. Imagine myself not really into prayers. So my SIL will help to conduct the prayers.

What comes next, I'm not too sure. I was thinking that all is going to be easy but guess not. My SIL wants to discuss with me soon..

Anyway, looking forward to my son's wedding and also hope that all goes on smoothly.

Have a nice day, everyone!

    It is always the most joyous and happy occasion for parents when their children are happily married. Congratulations to Wenn & family.

    I was just like your son and requested for a simple wedding. My parents wanted a grand one as I was the last child to get married and booked 3 ballrooms venuw! Now all these are precious happy memories of my late parents.

    I am Hakka too..besides tea ceremony at my own house, and nothing else. Since we are both Christians, all formal ceremonies were done in the church. But, every households have their own believes, especially the request from the elderly.

      It's the request from my sisters-in-law. Most importantly the prayers to the ancestors and the tea ceremony.

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
