Hey, guess what? I'm getting married!
Ok, I know both of you want the story so here it is.
It all happened very fast.. Kenneth went to speak to my parents when I was in HK (last week), brought them out for a nice chinese dinner at The Oriental hotel and basically asked them for their permission. Actually the whole thing was quite a major hoo-haa (too long to talk about it here).. and in fact I didn't actually think it would go through, or rather, that the preferred date would be accepted by my parents. I told Kenneth he had to be prepared to answer a lot of tough questions by them. But in the end, my parents said ok!!! Well, not really all that enthusiastically cos they still think I'm young, he's young, we shouldn't rush blah blah blah but they didn't object or push back so that was an OK sign. But there were some "after effects", besides the part about being too young.... where my mum came up with reasons to push back the date (which for now is 26 July), like

But there were some "after effects", besides the part about being too young.... where my mum came up with reasons to push back the date (which for now is 26 July), like
1) Yujun is coming back in Apr, may not have enough leave to come back in July
2) Adult fellowship (in my church) happens every last sat of the month, cannot have wedding dinner on that day
3) HK is very hot in July/ August (we have to go there for a dinner)
4) Property market is very hot now, should wait for it to cool dowm
I think what she says is not wrong, although some more valid than the others.. but I think it's missing the basic point of why we want to get married. Anyway, the wedding dinner will probably be on Sunday cos I think it might be too tiring to squeeze everything in 1 day.
But anyway, since then (this week) things have been ok. Kenneth and I went to choose the ring already too.. bought it, had it sized today, and will be collecting it next week. First choice for wedding dinner venue will be visited tomorrow.. and if it doesn't turn out well then we'll think of something else. The rest should be ok to manage I guess. It's quite fast for 1 week I must say but then again I think we sort of decided on a few things months ago, like the budget for ring and place for banquet and all... ahem.. very systematic people here..
End of my update here... it's a big step in my life I must say. A bit exciting, a bit scary... but it's something we're committed to.
So hope you 2 can make it back in July next year!
