When is Rebecca Lim getting married and who’s invited to the marriage

THE BIG DAY

And although Lim doesn’t have agency particulars on what’s going to occur on the precise day, she does take into consideration what she envisions for it.

For instance, she says she’ll do a “guo da li”, for positive. “Guo da li” is a Chinese language marriage ceremony customized the place the groom delivers marriage ceremony presents to the bride’s household, to indicate his gratitude and sincerity. The bride’s household exhibits their acceptance of the groom by accepting his presents. 

There will probably be no marriage ceremony gatecrash, nevertheless – that Chinese language marriage ceremony custom the place the groom and groomsmen are anticipated to carry out duties deliberate by the bridesmaids earlier than they’re allowed in to see the bride. 

“I’ve been bridesmaid a number of instances, and every time, I’ve felt very awkward. So it’s at all times been a ‘Observe to self: Okay, if I ever do get married, I don’t need a gatecrash’. In addition to, all my pals are moms of two or three youngsters, they usually’ve advised me that they don’t assume they’ll have the vitality to do something like that.”

Lim added that as a lot enjoyable as individuals have at these gatecrash occasions, she feels unhealthy for the groom. “The groom at all times comes to select up the bride all sweaty or has lipstick throughout this face. Not a very good look.”  

One other factor that she’s hoping for is to finish the ceremony and dinner on the identical day. “Undoubtedly not beginning early within the morning as a result of it’d really feel a bit like work, if you realize what I imply,” she laughed.

“So possibly from the afternoon to the night, hopefully every thing on the identical day and at one location. Quite a lot of my family members are coming and there will probably be fairly a number of aged, so I don’t need them to journey from the church to the dinner. I’m hoping to maintain it easy for everybody.
