But what happens when you toss in some cultural traditions that ruffle a few feathers?
They come from different cultural backgrounds shes white, hes Chinese-American.
Its a deeply symbolic ritual where the bride and groom show respect to their parents by serving them tea.
In return, they receive blessings, gifts and maybe even some happy tears.
Sounds like a good deal to me.
So, the fiance took it upon himself to organize this ceremony.
They went from brides parents to wedding grinch in record time.
Very classy, folks.
Of course, our OP wasnt having it.
And thats when the group chat apocalypse started.
Because nothing says maturity like ignoring someone on WhatsApp, right?
Especially when your fiance allows you to go wild and do your thing for the rest of the day.
Talk about missing the point.
Plus, its a reminder that weddings arent just about fancy cakes and flower arrangements.
Theyre also about honoring the people and traditions that shaped you.
As for theChinese tea ceremonyitself, its so much more than sipping tea.
Its about respect, love, and family.
A little wedding bonus, anyone?
Its intimate, emotional, and a beautiful way to bridge generations.
Theres absolutely nothing absurd about it,mom and dad!
If they want to stew in their negativity, they can do it from home.
