Eventful 过大礼

We did out 过大礼 and 安床 on Sat. It was a super tiring and eventful day for us. 

Woke up bright and early to prepare the 嫁妆 and wait for J's arrival. He said he will be late so dad went to pick up sis from her night shift. Who knew that before dad came back J would arrive with his aunt and sis bearing the 聘金 and the cakes. And that dad would go and vote before coming back. We went ahead with the exchange without my dad but he managed to come back in the middle of the exchange. I forgot to take pictures of the 聘金 and 嫁妆 before the exchange. Only remembered to take pictures after we 安床-ed, which we did ourselves. Was perspiring like mad after we 安床. The weather on Sat was mad crazy hot!! I hope it will not be so hot this coming Sat but I also do not want it to rain.. Haha .. This bridezilla so demanding.

Our new bed installed with the 嫁妆 and the items needed for 安床

    What I was told to put in the potty: A pair of chopsticks, an angbao and a pair of clogs (I put in 2 cos they came together)

All in the potty waiting to be wrapped

Headed over to my grandma's place to pray to our ancestors to let them know that I will be getting married. Kana lectured for some things that I had no control over by my aunt in front of a relative whom I have not met for donkey years.. I knew where she was coming from but I was an innocent party and I did not appreciate her lecturing me for something that I was innocent of in front of someone else. My mood was spoilt the whole day after. Mum had my aunties and uncles over for hotpot in the aftn to collect their cakes and also to gather together instead of them coming over the night before the wedding. I did not really enjoy myself because of what happened earlier. Still had to put on a happy face to have dinner with my MIL for mother's day dinner in the evening. Sometimes I really dun understand how come a happy occasion can create so many problems..


I will not be posting so frequently over the next 2 weeks.. Will be back to blog after my wedding .. Hopefully with photos of the day..
