It was official.
Not sure how much impact I made in the past two years. Probably none. For three hours, two to three days a week, I felt more like a guest.
But yet, I gained quite a bit. Neither am I sure when or how I can use what I gained. For now, I know at least I made a few people proud. =)
The traditional photos at the staircase,
And with the giant ceremonial bear!
One of the best thing is to have accomplished it together with my dear. Before we take the next steps of our lives together, arm in arm.
A moment for us to pause and celebrate!
And I will leave the rest of the reflections to another day bah... hah.
The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)
