CONGRATS!

You're welcome. My pleasure! A note to all non-asians. When you go to an asian wedding, brings money in envelops instead of gifts!

so 500 people eh? each would atleast give $50. That adds up to atleast $25,000 :D. And that doesnt count people who give you more than that! Looks like your not really paying anything for the wedding ;). Maybe you'll make a profit! Jk, I hope you have a successful wedding and a great life together.

Yeah. NORMALLY, that's the case. But there might be some cheap people that may give $20 or worse yet, STIFF ME! It's ok though. I should have enough to cover it by the time it comes.

P.S. Thanks for all the kind words guys!

You Asian or Italian?;)


Oh, and of course she said yes. I got married every single time I gave a girl a whole roasted pig. Might have something to do with how us black people love pork though.

I've spent most of the thread trying to figure out a way I can convince my american wife that her family is supposed to gift me with a whole roasted animal of some kind as a belated canadian wedding ritual.

Congratulations. How long before she learns a new expression?

She has a beautiful smile so I'm glad she kept that same expression. Here's a different one.

Heh I don't think I can go the Vietnamese route even though I'm sure her parents want it. Oh well, I could care less about pleasing them though. I'm going to propose to my g/f my own way. But this was a good insight to what I'll be missing out on =) On the upside, my g/f and I were looking at TVs and she had this grand scheme that we finance it now and use the wedding money to pay for it. Yep, she's a keeper =)

No wonder this looked familiar. You post over at Genmay too.

Yep. I have this site bookmarked just at the gaming forum and I had no idea that there was an off-topic subforum!

Awesome man, congradulations. :) What's the reason for having to have your entire family present just to propose to her, though? I'm curious.
