Need some advice

[summerrain]

Hi all BTBs,
Need some advice pls. My fiance and I planned to have a simple wedidng affair this year. We only plan to invite relatives and really close friends to our solemnisation event.

Would like to check if it's ok not to have customary ie tea serving ceremony, An Chuan, Guo Da Li etc. We will only be staying together when our house is ready next year.

Thanks in advance.

depends on how much you care about your relatives' opinions. some feel that the solemnisation event is the time that you have to do the customaries.

It really depends if your family is big on following tradition... you should ask for their opinion too.

[alfrida]

it actually depends on you, your htb and your families. but i think it's better to stick with the tradition.

depends on you but i advice that you still do and observe the tradition.

the flow of the wedding is really up to the both of you. if you feel that you do not need it, then do away with it.. but if you value tradition, go through with it.

depends on you but i suggest that you do it since it's a tradition and more important since you're celebrating your wedding with your relatives.

Really depends on the close family ties you have...

i agree with lovelyblondie. some of your relatives might get offended..

I think it's fine just tell elders beforehand

yes, ask for their go signal first
