Chapter 93: Throbbing
"I think you can give them a juicer, it's what they need." Angela was giving Wei Da an idea, the bachelor party was followed by the wedding, so Wei Da was not in a hurry to go back to Abiline, he stayed in Austin after the yacht party, and went back with Angela after attending Sissi's wedding, and Wang Ye went back first after giving Wei Da the evaluation of 'heavy color and light friends'.
"Juicer? Isn't it a little too cheap? Wei Da was stunned, in fact, he was also a little unaccustomed to some customs on Lao Mei's side.
It is appropriate to give money to the wedding, and it is also the same in Lao Mei, but many times it is not the money but to buy some practical items. In the American concept, giving physical objects is an expression of friendship and sincere blessings, while sending money is very vulgar and lacks real feelings.
And this time, Sissi got married by making a long list of some items that she needs now, which is the wedding gift list; Basically, some daily necessities from tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars, from bedding pillows, bedspreads, bookshelves to pots and pans, cosmetics, sanitary ware and so on. In fact, it also looks good, so that the space chosen by the guests is also the gift of friends to the hearts of the newlyweds, which not only saves the time spent by friends to buy gifts, but also makes the newlyweds fully obtain the necessities for marriage.
"Okay, I know it's a little cheaper for you, but I don't think we're comparing them, we're giving them our sincerity. However, I think you might be able to choose some more expensive gifts, they now know that you are rich, I am a big mouth woman, and I showed them that I met a young and interesting rich man! Angela laughed and joked.
There are some new trends that are clearly different from the past, and they are no longer limited to timeless tableware, small household appliances and other traditional goods. Nowadays, there are also a lot of people who want to see something that is expensive but may not be used once a year, and this is a normal thing.
Wei Da discussed with Angela, Wei Da planned to send a good set of barbecue grills, the price is relatively expensive, but it is also relatively cheap for a Hao like Wei Da who came out of the soil.
"I only brought a change of clothes, a t-shirt with me to the party this time. I think you might give me some advice now, I think I still need a dress or something. Fill out the list and swipe the card, and the gift will be delivered directly to Sissi's house, and Wei Da also remembered at this time that he was just wearing a T-shirt to attend Sissi's wedding.
"Well, I'm good at it!" Angela smiled proudly, and after looking Wei Da up and down a few times, she also came up with an idea, "Your figure is good, but we can't steal the demeanor of the groom and groomsmen, we don't need too formal dresses, semi-casual suits are enough." ”
"Are you ready for your dress?" Wei Da smiled and joked, "I appreciate that you can accompany me to choose clothes, and when I meet a dress I like, I think I can give it to you." ”
"No, I'm a bridesmaid, and Sissi has already prepared the dress. You know, she's the bride and she's absolutely not allowed us to steal the spotlight from her at the wedding, so she doesn't need us to prepare the dress. Da, what is the psychological price point of your dress, or what is your preferred color? Angela is constantly choosing and matching Weida's dress, which also gives Weida a headache; Just buy clothes that look good, where did you think that Angela is so serious about the careful matching.
finally got the dress, and Wei Da also had a handful of blood; In fact, Wei Da is not very particular about clothes and the like, clean and tidy is good, and he doesn't care so much about famous brands now. It's just that this time it's going to a wedding, although it's just a guest, it's good to be a little shiny, and it's not a particularly famous suit, but it's also more than 600 US dollars, which is not cheap.
"I'm a bridesmaid tomorrow, so I'll be with Sissi a lot of the time, and I may not be able to take care of you at that time. However, you don't need to be polite, it's just a fun gathering between friends, and you don't need to be inhibited. Of course, I remind you that if there is a stocking-grabbing event tomorrow, I hope you will not participate. When sending Angela back to the hotel, Angela also had some reminders.
"Grab stockings?" Wei Da was stunned, he didn't think he would have anything to pay attention to, just to see the excitement, to see the American wedding; But when it comes to snatching stockings and the like, he doesn't understand what kind of trouble this is.
"I think you should know that the bride throws a bouquet of flowers during the wedding, which is a ladies' event. But there is also an event for men here, where the groom drills his wedding dress and bites off the bride's stockings with his teeth. I don't know if they have this event arranged, but I think it will be no less. Wei Da heard Angela's explanation and could only say that it was a heavy taste, this weird custom still makes people sweat, but this is their custom, and there is nothing to care about.
"Okay, Angela, you have to know that we Chinese are subtle a lot of the time, and I don't think I'm going to be very active at this event, just like I know that a lot of girls are shy and don't fight when the ladies receive the bouquet." Weida didn't think he was very interested in stockings or anything, well, just not very interested in things like snatching stockings.
"In some places in the west, it is still relatively conservative, and there are activities such as biting stockings, but many times it is the closer guests who will participate in such activities." Angela also explained, and Weida was naturally able to understand; Although it is just a custom, sometimes such a sensitive matter is still easy to cause some misunderstandings and disputes.
In fact, there were a lot of people invited to Sissi's wedding, Wei Da walked around leisurely, especially the huge cake at the wedding scene still looked delicious, plus the guests chatted together, this was a relaxed and comfortable wedding.
Although Wei Da basically has no acquaintances, it doesn't matter; The people who can come to the wedding are basically close relatives and friends of Sissi or her husband, and guests like Wei Da will not be completely left out.
Watching Sissi slowly walk down the red carpet holding her father's arm, and looking at the beautiful and cute Angela in a small dress behind the bride, Weida felt as if she was throbbing. Especially seeing the bride and groom exchanging rings, Wei Da somehow suddenly felt that he also wanted to start a family, which seemed to be able to make his life and his life enter a new level.
Everyone is playing crazy, seeing the bride throwing bouquets, seeing the groom biting stockings, and adding cake fights, these are all very interesting things, anyway, Wei Da feels that he is also very happy after participating in the first authentic American wedding, and this time it is also a very good thing.
It's also nice to lie in bed and watch TV and watch basketball games. When I was in China, it was basically morning, but in the United States, it was the prime time of the evening, which was really suitable; As for football, when I was in China, I basically stayed up late, in fact, it wasn't necessarily much better in the United States, and the time was not necessarily suitable, so I could only say that these games were basically taking care of the local audience.
"Wei, when will you return to the ranch, there are already many enterprises and research institutes interested in your research." Wei Da received a call from Amp, Wei Da now looks like he doesn't care about these things and looks very leisurely, but there are still many people who want to hurry up at this time to continue to understand some things about this cooperation.
"Okay, I'll go back to the ranch tomorrow, I think we'll continue to screen and select partners at this time, their sincerity, and see their strength. I think we have some initiative right now, and I'm not going to continue to discuss these things with people who are not destined to be possible, it would be a waste of time. Wei Da said with a smile, now he is not without any strength and influence, this time he still has the initiative.
