1160. Who Are the Guests (10/10)
Yes, no matter what country you are in, marriage is a lifelong event, and the wedding naturally has to be on an auspicious day.
Qin Shiou and Winnie were engaged first this time, and they were not married yet, so they set the engagement date first.
Qin's father and Qin's mother didn't know anything about this, no one had ever married a foreign daughter-in-law in their hometown, and after coming to Canada a few times, the two old people also knew that the customs and habits of foreigners were also different.
After sitting together, Qin's father talked about the engagement and asked Winnie's mother how much the engagement bride price was.
Miranda was dumbfounded and said blankly: "What bride price?" Are you asking how much it costs to get engaged in the process? This is already in our plans, so don't worry. ”
This is the difference in culture, Qin Shiou hurriedly explained to his parents, saying that the engagement does not need to give the woman a dowry, he only needs to prepare a pair of engagement rings. In addition, during the entire engagement process, the two of them don't need to pay money, as long as they enjoy it.
Father Qin was incredulous and said, "We can marry a good girl like Winnie home without spending money?" ”
Qin Muchi asked, "It's just that the engagement doesn't cost money, right?" Let's preside over the marriage, right? But it's not very good, how can the engagement cost the woman? ”
Qin Shiou said: "This is the custom, not only engagement, but when the wedding banquet is held, it is also the family of Winnie's parents who pay for it. ”
Winnie's grandfather is Chinese, although he has been away from China for many years, after all, he has attended many weddings in China and is familiar with Chinese customs.
Listening to Qin's father and Qin's mother's muttering, he smiled and waved his hand, "Let's just discuss an engagement date." We're really up to the rest, and Miranda and Mario are looking forward to it. ”
It is said that Chinese are extravagant and wasteful in marriage, and foreigners are actually more than good at this point. This is especially true for Canadians, because the customs are different, and many families are multi-racial, and even have to have two weddings when they get married.
This time Qin Shiou is almost like this, he has to do it again when he goes back to his hometown, and of course he will pay for it himself when the time comes.
When a foreigner gets married, the cost of the wedding is borne by the woman's family. A wedding can take a long time for an ordinary working-class family. Qin Shiou has been in Canada for more than two years, and he has an understanding of some unspoken rules represented by various social conditions, if an ordinary family wants to marry a daughter. Then her parents must be busy working overtime and part-time jobs half a year in advance.
Since the old man has spoken, Qin's father and Qin's mother don't say much, they have confidence in Qin Shiou's financial resources, and they know that their son is enthusiastic about Winnie. It will definitely not make her family suffer.
Next is the engagement date. This Canadian is not very particular, and the wedding date is especially important before October, because the weather will be very cold after October......
Mario and Miranda's family have already agreed on a time in advance for the upcoming June.
June is the month when Canadian girls choose to marry the most, which has something to do with Roman mythology.
THE MONTH OF JUNE IS JUNE, WHICH IS DERIVED FROM THE NAME OF JUNO, THE GODDESS OF LOVE AND MARRIAGE IN ROMAN MYTHOLOGY, WHO BELIEVED THAT IF THEY MARRIED AT THIS TIME, THEY WOULD BE BLESSED BY THE GODDESS JUNO.
Actually, it's a combination of eggs. It has also been counted before that people who get married in June have the highest divorce rate......
Father Qin and Mother Qin nodded and said yes. Which day is it scheduled for June? Winnie's parents were embarrassed to see that the old couple on the other side were just smiling stiffly and didn't express their opinions, so they asked them to express their opinions.
Qin Shiou knows the reason why his parents are restrained, and Winnie's family is too good, although Miranda is now a housewife taking care of Mario and two old people, but before leaving, he was also an editor-in-chief of the largest popular magazine "Pretty Clothes" in the three provinces of the grassland.
Mario has a small business with more employees than Qin Shiou Fishery, and of course the output value is much worse. Winnie's grandparents used to be even better in China, and they were all official, and her grandmother was a visiting professor at Tsinghua University.
In contrast, Qin's father and Qin's mother are ordinary farmers, and they will inevitably have pressure in the face of them, and it is okay to eat normally, if everyone sits together and talks about business, they will naturally be more restrained.
However, Qin Shiou thinks it's a good thing that the second elder is restrained but not inferior, of course, this is also the confidence he gives his parents, in his hometown, Qin Shiou is a standard Prince Charming, or a foreign Prince Charming, I don't know how many people are thinking about him Tang monk meat.
Qin Shiou asked his parents what a good day was in June, and Qin's father laughed and said: "Let's respect the opinion of Winnie's family, this is Canada, God doesn't think he can control this, isn't it that Jesus and his mother on their side?" Just according to other people's orders. ”
There is nothing to force for this kind of thing, since the parents have shown their style, Qin Shiou followed and asked Winnie's parents to set a date.
Mario nodded, "What about June 2nd?" The day before was International Children's Day, and we celebrated Hathaway, and then we celebrated two children? ”
Father Qin and Mother Qin nodded and said Okay, this statement is not bad.
Qin Shiou actually thinks that the time is quite rushed, although the engagement does not need to be solemnly organized like marriage, but it is also necessary to invite friends to participate, these jobs generally have to be done a month in advance, and now there is only half a month before June 2nd.
Since they are in a hurry, after setting a date, Qin Shiou and Winnie have to hurry up to make invitations.
At first, Qin Shiou felt that it was mainly Weinie's side, because his main guests were in China, and it was estimated that it would be good for them to come when they got married, and the engagement would not be possible, after all, the International Children's Day holiday, his classmates and buddies could not enjoy it.
As a result, when she got the invitation designer, Winnie's face was full of bitterness: "I had a falling out with my college classmates, I'm afraid I won't be able to invite a few people over, but I used to have some friends who were good when I was a flight attendant, but there weren't many of them." ”
Chinese weddings, especially in Qin Shiou's rural hometown, the engagement is actually very simple, the parents of both parties sit down, set a date for the man to give the financial resources to have a meal, it is okay, Canada is not good, friends and relatives on both sides are going to party together.
Qin Shiou hugged Winnie and said distressedly: "It's okay, you sent the invitation to them, if they don't come, it's their problem, what does it have to do with you?" ”
Auerbach helped the two fill in the information, and seeing Winnie's embarrassed look, he smiled and asked, "Is there a misunderstanding between you and your college classmates?" ”
He said it more tactfully, but in fact, he guessed that Winnie was not popular in college. But this time he was right, it was really a misunderstanding, the matter between Fox and Armand has a fart relationship with Winnie? She's also a victim, okay?
Since telling Qin Shiou what happened to her, Winnie's heart knot has been opened, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about, so she told Auerbach again.
After hearing this, the old man laughed indifferently, and said, "It's very simple, I promise that they will all come, come on, I'll teach you what to do." (To be continued......)
