As my niece's wedding got postponed twice by rona....(or could be cancelled by this point). it's all about showing off her hot hubby.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Also, a lot of it is because the elders wants it, it's never about the couple in Chinese weddings.
There's a bunch of nice little outdoor places in the city you could just show up and use. At this point I'd be using covid as an excuse to scrap the whole ceremony and trim it down to immediate family only. Take ~15 people and go to a cute place in the city and just do it now with just family. Less stress, less cost.
This is true universally, not just for Chinese weddings. As I work more in the wedding space, it's very clear that the wedding is about respecting tradition and allowing your friends/family to be part of it. Not something I'm into, but that seems to be true of many people these days.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Following in the grand Canadian tradition of the potlatch, where the more money you spend, the more wealthy you seem, and the more respected you are. Probably a more healthy communal worldview than the skinflint Scottish protestant kind of notion of self-reliance.

We had our legal wedding in feb, scheduled a wedding in Hawaii for April, which got pushed to November, which will likely get pushed again to April 2021 if Hawaii moves their date for dropping quarantine againThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Didn't Hawaii open things up to Canadians? Though you'd still have to isolate I guess.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It's changed a couple times, but last I read you didn't have to isolate if you had negative test results within 72 hours of arrival, but when you return to Canada you will still need to isolate for the 2 weeks. Seems to be a moving target though, I wouldn't be comfortable booking just yet, especially with travel insurance companies silently changing their fine print to explicitly exclude anything covid-related.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

It was supposed to be august 1 that the 2 week quarantine would be lifted in favour of a negative Covid test, then it was moved to September 1, and now they are seeing triple digit increases on Oahu daily. My confidence on sept 1 isn’t high.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
