Yes, no matter in which country, marriage is a lifelong event. Naturally, the wedding must be on a good day.
Qin Shiou and Weini are engaged first this time, but they are not married yet, so they set the engagement date first.
Qin''s father and mother didn''t understand this. No one had ever married a foreign daughter-in-law in their hometown. Moreover, after visiting Canada several times, the two old people also knew that foreigners'' customs were also different.
After sitting together, Qin''s father talked about the engagement and asked Weini''s mother how many engagement gifts she wanted.
Milan Dutton looked silly and said blankly, "what bride price? Are you asking how much it costs to get engaged? This is already in our plan. Please rest assured. "
This is the difference in culture. Qin Shiou quickly explained to his parents that there is no need to give a bride price to the woman for engagement. He just needs to prepare a pair of engagement rings. In addition, in the whole engagement process, they don''t need to pay, just enjoy it.
Qin''s father couldn''t believe it and said, "we can marry a good girl like Winnie home without spending money?"
Qin''s mother hesitated and asked, "is it just that the engagement doesn''t cost money? Let''s host the wedding, right? But it''s not very good. How can an engagement make a woman spend money? "
Qin Shiou said, "this is the custom. It''s not only the engagement, but also the money from Weini''s parents when they hold the wedding banquet."
Winnie''s grandfather is Chinese. Although she has left China for many years, she has attended many weddings in China and is familiar with Chinese customs.
Listening to Qin''s father and mother muttering, he smiled, waved and said, "let''s discuss an engagement date. The others are really run by us. Miranda and Mario are looking forward to this day."
It is said that Chinese marriage is extravagant and wasteful, and foreigners are actually better than them. This is especially true for Canadians, because customs are different. Many families are multi-ethnic intermarriage, and even have to organize two weddings.
Qin Shiou is about to do this this time. He has to do it again when he goes back to his hometown. Of course, he will pay for it himself.
When foreigners get married, the cost of the wedding is borne by the woman''s family. A wedding can make ordinary working-class families unable to relax for a long time. Qin Shiou came to Canada for more than two years and learned about the hidden rules represented by some social forms. If an ordinary family wants to marry a daughter, her parents must be busy working overtime and part-time half a year in advance.
Now that the old man and son have spoken, Qin''s father and mother won''t say much. They have confidence in Qin Shiou''s financial resources and know that with their son''s enthusiasm for Weini, they won''t let her family suffer.
Next is the engagement date. This Canadian doesn''t pay much attention. The wedding date is before October, because it will be very cold after October
Mario and Miranda had agreed on a time in advance and set it for the coming June.
June is the month when Canadian girls choose to marry the most, which has something to do with Roman mythology.
June in English is June, which comes from the name of Juno, the goddess in charge of love and marriage in Roman mythology. Girls think that if they get married at this time, they will be blessed by Juno.
In fact, this is a natural egg. According to previous statistics, people who get married in June have the highest divorce rate
Qin''s father and mother nodded and said, which day is it in June? Winnie''s parents see that the old couple across the street just smile modestly and don''t express their opinions, so they''re not very interesting. Please give them your opinions.
Qin Shiou knows the reason why her parents are stiff. The Weini family is too arrogant. Although Miranda is now a housewife to take care of Mario and two old people, she was also an editor in chief of beautiful clothes, the largest popular magazine in the three grassland provinces before she left her job.
Mario has a small enterprise with more employees than Qin Shiou fishery. Of course, the output value is much worse. Winnie''s grandparents used to be more powerful in China. They were all official people. Her grandmother was also a visiting professor at Tsinghua University.
In contrast, Qin''s father and mother are ordinary farmers. They inevitably have pressure in the face of them. It''s OK to eat normally. If we sit together and talk about business, they will naturally be more restrained.
However, Qin Shiou thinks it''s good that the two old people are cautious but not inferior. Of course, this is also his confidence in 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 his Tang Monk meat.
Qin Shiou asked his parents what good days there were in June. Qin father said with a smile: "let''s respect the opinions of the Weini family. This is Canada. God doesn''t think he can control this. Isn''t Jesus and his mother in charge of them? Just do what others want. "
There''s nothing to force about this kind of thing. Since her parents showed their style, Qin Shiou followed it and asked her parents to set a date.
Mario nodded, "how about June 2? The day before was international children''s day. We celebrated Hathaway''s day, and then we celebrated for the two children? "
Qin''s father and mother nodded and said yes, which is also a good statement.
Qin Shiou actually feels that he is in a hurry. Although he doesn''t have to deal with the engagement as solemnly as marriage, he also needs to invite his friends to participate. These jobs usually have to be done one month in advance, and now it''s only half a month from June 2.
Since the time is in a hurry, Qin Shiou and Weini have to make invitations quickly after setting a date.
At first, Qin Shiou thought it was mainly Weini''s side, because his main guests were in China. It''s estimated that it would be good for them to get married. They can''t get engaged. After all, his classmates and brothers can''t enjoy the holiday of international children''s day.
As a result, when she got the invitation designer, Winnie looked bitter: "my college classmates and I broke up. I''m afraid we can''t invite a few people. In the past, when I was a stewardess, some friends were good, but the number was not much."
Chinese weddings, especially in Qin Shiou''s rural hometown, are actually very simple. Once the parents of both sides sit down and set a date, the man will give them money to have a meal. Canada can''t. friends and relatives of both sides want to get together.
Qin Shiou hugged Weini and said painfully, "it''s all right. You send them the invitation. If they don''t come, that''s their problem. What does it have to do with you?"
Auerbach helped the two fill in the information. Seeing that Winnie was embarrassed, he smiled and asked, "there is a misunderstanding between you and your college classmates?"
What he said was euphemistic. In fact, he guessed that Winnie was not popular in college. But this time he was right. He really misunderstood that Fox and Armand had a fart relationship with Winnie? She''s a victim, too, okay?
Since she told Qin Shiou about her experience, Weini''s heart knot had been opened. In this way, there was no shame, so she repeated it to Auerbach.
After hearing this, the old man smiled carelessly and said, "it''s very simple. I''m sure they will all come. Come on, I''ll teach you what to do."
