What Are You Thinking About?

[ghosthunter]

Yung ninang ko sa wedding invited us sa kasal ng anak niya by the way chinese sila

pero catholic rites i assume since sa simbahan gagawin.

what im thinking about is the wedding is around 12pm then reception will be at 7pm

what's with the 6-7 hour interval? ano kaya balak nila sa mga bisita na pumunta sa church.

Most people would just go to one and skip the other unless you are very close to the family.

So if you can skip one... just go to the reception. Given it is the kid of the Ninang, I think you can skip the wedding and just go to the reception.

Planning to skip the church rites na nga lang.

Bakit nga ba ganyan na ngayon? May wedding din friend ko ganyan. Sa Manila Cathedral tapos reception sa Century Hotel. Malayo na nga time interval, malayo pa distance ng church sa reception venue. Then they make you have cocktails/stand for several hours, making you tired, hungry and uncomfortable.

Another thing that I hate are out of town weddings. I used to stress out on the logistics of going to a wedding, it's not easy for us women to move around in a gown, high heels, makeup and accesssories. So now, I only go if it is convenient for me. But I do appreciate the invite so even if I am not going, I still send over my gift. I only make exceptions for people that are very very dear to me.

Chinese nga yung friend ko na ganyan din, sobra tagal ng time interval. Tradition ba talaga sa Chinese yan?

[uls]

dunno if it's tradition but it makes sense

the bride and groom (and both families) need time to rest and freshen up for dinner reception

sigurado pagod sila after the church wedding so that 6-7 hour break is much needed

[uls]

senior citizens na ang mga parents di naman nila kaya dere-derecho

[Retz]

ung 6-7 hours pwede pa time mag pictorial ang bride and groom sa hotel with the ninong, ninangs and the whole entourage.

[uls]

^^^

yes that

Nope. My Dad told me not to say the word intsik and chekwa because it is offensive to some daw. So I just say Chinese or Chino hehehe. Totoo ba yun?

Exag naman yung 6 to 7 hr interval. Most weddings I attend deretso na from church.

It isn't tradition. But it's for practical reasons.

Not really uls' idea of resting and freshening up but those are also considered factors. It's more likely because they're processing the shots taken from the church and doing a movie highlight. Aside from that, usually meron mga pictorials pa after the wedding on the hotel venue themselves.

But the most practical reason is because... well, people still have businesses to attend to sa afternoon. This is why a dinner reception is most convenient.

As for church attendance, it's not really required per se but highly suggested if you're close to the family. Usually picture picture lang naman yan but the main reason to go is to simply see the marriage rites. Not everyday you see a friend kneel at the altar and exchange vows after all.

I don't even know what chekwa is.

As for intsik, some people are sensitive to it but most of us who have adapted sa Filipino customary isn't naman. I'd happily prefer the word chinese though.

I have heard of chekwa also. offensive ba ang intsik? is it like calling black american a nigger?
