I will be attending three weddings this month, originally it was four, but the fourth wedding was cancelled due to “unforeseen” circumstances.
In Singapore especially among the Chinese, it is considered inauspicious to held weddings during the Seventh Lunar Month a.k.a. the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts. This year it stretches from 5 August 2005 to 3 September 2005. According to Chinese folklore, during this period the gate of Hell opens and its inhabitants are free to roam the world of the living, sort of like going for a vacation.
Surly you do not want uninvited guests to your wedding right? You might have to prepare a few more tables especially for them. But tell me which one of your guests would want to sit beside such tables?
Of course the younger generation, especially Christians, do not believe in such things. However, unless your parents and in-laws share the same sentiment, it is unwise to go against their wish. You do not want to piss off your in-laws so soon, trust me.
The weddings will be held at,
Hotel New Otani Singapore
for Jac on 11 September 2005
Marina Mandarin Singapore
for MF on 15 September 2005
Pan Pacific Singapore
for WC a.k.a. Tweety Bird on 18 September 2005
Congratulations to the three lovely couples! :)
