Is it the end..?? or the beginning..?? is it for yourself.. or for others..?? is it for being legal..?? or just a dream you want to act out..?? What does a wedding really mean to anyone..?? Are you having the wedding for yourself..?? or for him..?? or for the parents..?? or like me.. who has a kid.. for the kid..?? so that she wouldn’t be called names .. when she is older.. or am i afraid.. to teach my kid.. that it is not right.. not to have a wedding. Afterall, every mother wants their kid to get marry in a “proper” way right..?? So what is your ulterior motive of having a wedding..?? what do you hope to get outta your wedding celebration..?? Is it really important.. someone asked me.. to show the whole world.. that you are in a wedding dress.. and so forth .. and so forth..?? and getting presents.. that you probably wouldn’t use. What is your reason for getting married..?? Are you doing the whole circus show for yourself..?? or for others..??

No way..!! not here in Canada..! if you marry a Chinese man.. sure you get to marry his whole family .. and the extended one..! But in Canada.. the men here are pretty different. and i’m sure . the man wouldn’t even think to ask his parents advise on alot of things.. about our relationship. Plus the parents .. don’t interfere, which is what i like most being over here.. and marry a white man.

In the Chinese tradition, we give away .. “wife biscuit” together with the wedding invitation card. But since i can’t find the traditional “wife biscuit” .. i have no choice but to give these fruit tarts with my invitations. Now ordering it from a local bakery isn’t gonna be easy.. because we don’t have very many here. The one that would do it.. i’m not really crazy about their tarts.. so i’m gonna ask the local grocery store if they could do it for me.. and as cheap as possible please.

Traditionally, a Chinese who gets married needs to use these special tea pot and tea cups .. to serve your elders tea. The tea is made of longan and red dates and everything sweet. But because i am in Canada.. and my family wouldn’t be here.. i am therefore not obliged to kneel down with these traditional cups.. and serve tea.
