I always have the feeling that somehow the external factors gonna give us challenge on the wedding preparation ...
True enough, my parent and my girlfriend's parent are really ardent to have their way for certain ceremony for the wedding. They want us to bow to ancestors, want to have a mediator (the Chinese traditional lady who said all the prosperity words) at the tea ceremony, to have dinner banquet at certain restaurant.
Both of us are stress out totally. Wondering if this is their wedding or ours?????
Yes, we don't mind seek consult from them on certain aspect of the wedding. But can it have it our way?????

I had a small argument with my mom about this thing as well (funny thing, I wasn't even getting married!)
ReplyDeleteI brought this issue up (very similar to your's) about all these traditions which I saw in my cousin's wedding recently - and I didn't like it at all and don't want all these fuss in my (future) wedding.
But my mom didn't take it well and started to (accuse) me of being 'rebellious' and refusing to follow tradition. In the end - both of us were upset with each other and the same question goes through my mind : is it her wedding or my wedding?
Hope you will have a wedding that you and your wife truly wanted and at the same time making both parents happy. Keep praying and God will see through it!
Cheers!
I had our wedding last year.. (2nd Feb 2008) and as usual, my parent being traditional and not saved yet.. so they insist us to bow... knowing that before hand, we did talked to them... and it does burst out, but at least letting them know before hand does help. I did stand firm and also told them that I will just stand still without doing anything. a moment of silence for maybe 30 sec as a form of respecting them but not worship them.
