What a relief.

On the 12th November, my niece got married. Whats the big deal then. Well, the bridegroom came to my house to marry her.

It all started when my niece came to visit us during Chinese New Year this year. She said she will be getting married in November. As she is now working in Penang, she planned to rent a house for the occasion. Since brother-in-law ( wife's eldest brother ) and sister-in-law are no longer around, we suggested to her to use our house which she accepted.

Spring cleaning of my house started three weeks before the big day. Old furniture had to be discarded and new ones bought. The room which she stayed had to be painted.

As we were not too familiar with chinese customs, we went to shops which sell wedding accessory. There, they have almost everything you need for a wedding. They also advice us as to what should be done and what is taboo.

A day or two before the big day, relatives from far and near came. My house was a hive of activities, bride's room had to be decorated, a red cloth with three red flowers had to be hung above the main door, etc, etc.

On the big days, I watched how the ladies made the groom, his bestman and friends do all sorts of activities before they allowed the groom into the house and also the bride's room. For starters, the groom and his friends had to eat a dark mixture of I don't know what the ladies had made from a daiper. Next, they had to pick up the north, south, east and west mahjong cards with their toes from two pails of icy water. Then they had to do a belly dance and sing songs. As usual, red packets had to change hands. Then we had the tea drinking ceremony. After that, the bride and the groom left for the tea drinking ceremony in the groom's house.

At night, we attended the wedding dinner at a restaurant. It was a grand affair. There was a life band. All in all, guests occupied the whole of the first floor of the restaurant, with 48 tables.

What a relief when everything was over. Some relatives said that we married off a , which unfortunately we don't have.
