So fast, the wedding is over and now me and my wife are happily married couple.
The wedding did turn out well despite a few 'road blocks' here and there, which both of us overcome it well with the support of our families, relatives and friends.
Where should I start? Perhaps, I should start on the 11th of December 2011. I just got home from a company meeting in Chiang Mai the day before. In the morning, as I was cleaning the front porch with my mom, my neighbor informed us there could be a funeral a few houses away from mine. Indeed, there is. It seems an elderly man had passed away the night before and their family will have their Chinese ritual and prayers there in their house.
Later that evening, we found out the funeral would be held on the 13th December 2011, which was similar to our wedding date. So, we immediately plan for preventive action. Come the 12th December 2011 (Monday) morning, the canopy supplier came over in the morning at about 9am to fix up 4 sets of canopies in front of my house as I will be hosting a buffet pre-wedding dinner.
Then, at about noon, me and my cousin brother in law which will be my driver for the wedding had driven the wedding car to the photo shop for decoration.
At about 4pm the buffer dinner caterers came and started to setup for the dinner. Our first guest arrived at about 710pm and the night went on until about 11pm and even after that, me and some friends and a neighbor were still drinking all the way up to 2am.
I took a nap at about 3am and woke up at about 5.30am to shower and prepare myself to pick up my bride. I have to leave home at about 6am. All those that will go pick up my bride together with me came on time and we left home at about 615am reaching my wife's house about 7am. My brother in law (wife side) had open my wedding car door for me and immediately we were greeted by her 'sisters' at the gate and were asked to eat some cheeries soaked in vinegar, asked to sing, asked to do push ups and negotiated our ways before we were allowed to meet the bride.
Tea ceremony took place in her house and we left her house at about 830am heading home. As we reach our house, some simple prayers and tea ceremony was held. It was full of laughter and happiness and we have prepared some simple lunch for our guest and all was sorted out at about 3pm. My parents in law came to our place at about 4pm to visit. According to my wife, it is their custom that her parents will come over.
The next 2 days we have some rest before the wedding dinner reception which is scheduled on the 16th of December 2011 at Tropicana Golf and Country Resort. We were lucky that we were given the Grand Ball Room to hold the dinner.
