In the morning, the groom's side (along with family members & even grandma) came over to my house bearing gifts. Both families simplified the process, minimal items were required from each side. So it is not an elaborate affair.
N & Family brought:-
- Dowry
- 2 bottles of liquor
- "Si Dian Jing" (4 pieces of jewellery)
- 2 pairs of "Long Feng" (Dragon/Phoenix) candles
- 2 boxes of Bird's Nest
- 12 Oranges
- 12 cans of pig trotters
My Family returned:-
- Half the dowry
- 2 bottles of orange juice
- My own diamond jewellery set from my mum & dad
- A pair of Phoenix candles
- 12 Oranges
- 6 cans of pig trotters
- New Pink Bedsheets
- A pair of bedside lamps
- Sewing basket
- A baby's potty, packed with sweets & wrapped with red paper
- Tea Set (for tea ceremony at N's place)
What was left at my parents' place
What was brought back by NN's family sat down chitchat a bit, then we went for lunch with grandma & family.
We headed to our bridal studio to do last fitting, have N's family see our pictures from photoshoot & fitted N's dad with a jacket to loan on our big day.
Last but not least, we had to go back to N's grandparents' place to pray to the gods & ancestors to tell them of the impending wedding.
