Sher,
Oh, that is a beautiful custom to serve the elders tea. I like the symbolism of it. Gratitude is vital in any relationship.

Thanks for this wonderful addition.

Hi again!
Oh I have so much of my own wedding customs to tell. It's pity not many kept them nowadays as they think it's no longer "cool" to maintain them.

Since my fiance is not Asian (or Chinese), I had to do away with most of the traditions. However, I've insisted on keeping one that holds utmost importance in my family. We call it the Tea Ceremony.

In this Ceremony, the Bride and Groom must serve tea to the elders in the family. Each will then give them their blessings. Why is this significant? Because when the Groom serves tea to the mother of the bride, it represents a gratitude to the old lady for raising the bride. And be accepted into the family!

:)

"Nothing makes me laugh more that that phrase!" - LOL I love this sentence too!"

LOL just thinking about it.

"I read that they do that because of Jacob, who was fooled into marrying Leah when he wanted to marry Rachel; so the Jewish groom veils the bride before the ceremony (this is called Bedekin) to make sure that she is the one he chose lol..."

Thanks for the additional information. Much appreciated.

"A woman with smelly feet...was it hormone issues, or she simply didn't bathe her feet?"

It was a hot day and she was sweating in nylons. (stockings)
I allowed her to rent just to get her out of the office. LOL. (You are sworn to secrecy.)

Private Dancer Cheers!

Alexys,

"OMG Max, I can't stop laughing at your responses." - LOL LOL I know how you feel...I couldn't stop laughing at the post lol.

"We have ended this week as we started it - with lots of laughter! ROFL. (rolling into the weekend). Somebody get me a tissue. My eyes. My nose. My stomach. OMG. Oh, now I can't move. (Note to self: Get up Alexys.)" - true lol...at least we are always laughing, darling! Thank God I got here in time...here: have some more tissues LOL!

"Nothing makes me laugh more that that phrase!" - LOL I love this sentence too!

"Nothing like a bar of soap or moisturizing body wash." - absolutely!!

"Really?" - yes. It is so interesting! I read that they do that because of Jacob, who was fooled into marrying Leah when he wanted to marry Rachel; so the Jewish groom veils the bride before the ceremony (this is called Bedekin) to make sure that she is the one he chose lol...

"I would rather not imagine. Once I had a would-be tenant who wanted to rent a flat and I will never forget the smell of her feet. (Holding nose at the thought. Almost brought tears to my eyes.)" - LOL LOL LOL oh that is so terrible *Max holding nose*!! A woman with smelly feet...was it hormone issues, or she simply didn't bathe her feet?

Hi Amber,
That is so romantic. Did they drive each other crazy? LOL.

Thanks for that tandem comment. The comment section is always fun.

Hi Alexys!

Yeah, I agree with you love can ...

2008-07-25T18:59:00.000-07:00

Hi Alexys!

Yeah, I agree with you love can be funny sometimes. Love stories are really amusing, too.

I wouldn't forget how my mom and dad met. My dad was a driving instructor then and my mom enrolled on one of his week classes. I would beam my brightest smile everytime I hear the details.

Funny love stories! Now, that's what we can call a real romantic comedy.

Great tandem, Max and Alexys!
Kudos!

OMG Max,
I can't stop laughing at your responses. We have ended this week as we started it - with lots of laughter! ROFL. (rolling into the weekend). Somebody get me a tissue. My eyes. My nose. My stomach. OMG. Oh, now I can't move. (Note to self: Get up Alexys.)

"LOL LOL...hell no!"

Nothing makes me laugh more that that phrase!

"Thank God, we all bathe nowadays LOL LOL....stenchy weddings back in the days, eh? Unbelievable...."

Nothing like a bar of soap or moisturizing body wash.

"Lifting the veil prior to the ceremony is still done in the Jewish community (the same with not seeing the groom one week prior to the ceremony - to increase the longing)."

Really?

"Besides the garlic there was also feet scent? Thank heavens we don't do that anymore...can you imagine? LOL LOL...."

I would rather not imagine. Once I had a would-be tenant who wanted to rent a flat and I will never forget the smell of her feet. (Holding nose at the thought. Almost brought tears to my eyes.)

"Break cakes on the top of the bride's head? Hmmm...I think I'd have to do some serious butt kicking if my hair and dress got ruined *nodding*....I can't allow my style to be cramped like that, hell no!"

ROFL. ROFL. ROFL. ROFL.

"In this European country, Portugal; we wear the engagement ring on our right hand, and the wedding ring on the left. After the marriage the wife may opt by wearing both rings on her left hand."

That's lovely.

"I can't believe I deserved to be a participant in this post! I am so honoured *bowing*...thank you :D! LOL LOL my response actually looks good on this article LOL LOL LOL perfect!"

It's like it was meant to be.

"Girl, you rock! Great post, great author :D!"

Thanks. Great subject and participant!

Rocking Cheers!

Hello Alexys,

Wedding bouquets made of thyme and garlic? Garlic? Hmmmm...."Mom, take the Garlic off my bouquet! It is not an original idea, after all!" LOL LOL...hell no!
Thank God, we all bathe nowadays LOL LOL....stenchy weddings back in the days, eh? Unbelievable....

Lifting the veil prior to the ceremony is still done in the Jewish community (the same with not seeing the groom one week prior to the ceremony - to increase the longing).

"In later years, guests threw their own shoes at the newlyweds to signify this transfer of authority." - oh no!!! Besides the garlic there was also feet scent? Thank heavens we don't do that anymore...can you imagine? LOL LOL....

Break cakes on the top of the bride's head? Hmmm...I think I'd have to do some serious butt kicking if my hair and dress got ruined *nodding*....I can't allow my style to be cramped like that, hell no!

2008-07-24T12:58:00.000-07:00

Hey Amber,

Don't you think love is funny sometimes? Love stories are so fascinating and the reasons behind them can lead to some very amusing stories.

Daydreaming with you.

Liara,
How true is that? Focusing on love always brings us higher feelings. Humor is a highly effective tool in any relationship and leads to many years of bliss.

Alexys,

Nice and somewhat humorous trivias about weddings! = )

I just love weddings and hearing stories about how two souls fall in love.

Daydreaming....

2008-07-23T22:30:00.000-07:00

Weddings are as meaningful as human beings choose to make them. If you focus on love, then you would have no reason to think about jealousy, envy, revenge or fearful situations. To move beyond those would mean you have learned the power of humour and light-heartedness to dissolve fear. Relish the bliss meant for each and every being. Remind yourself of power found in pure love and white light. Generate what you choose.
