My Engagement
It was quite the busy weekend for me. since saturday I left my gundam model clipper and airbrush at home to get engaged. ^^ We had a traditional Chinese engagement, however with the level of intricacy it had it might as well have been a wedding in itself. ^^ there were a lot of rituals and restrictions that had to be observed during the ceremony, however the in the interest of having a concise post, I’ll just describe the highlights of the event. the ceremony starts of when the groom-to-be with his family enters the soon to be bride’s home bearing gifts (flowers, jewelry, clothes, and sweets). Tea and sweets are served to the guests as they wait, until the fiancee enters the living room walking backwards. gifts are then presented to both of them in the form of a bracelet, a gold medallion and an expensive watch. the couple then exchanges rings, after which they offer tea to each other’s family. then finally share a meal with each other.
