Thanks go out to Auntie Dolly, Gideon and John who helped me out as Matchmaker and assistants. We brought over the gifts of Ang Baos, Traditional 伍色糖 / 饼, 2 bottles of XO, some seeds, oranges and a suckling pig as well! The bright and gleaming home of Shermaine's parents was such a welcome, with everyone dressed up as well.
Each item was introduced and the significance explained by Auntie Dolly (in English!), while broad smiles were seen throughout. We were served some cakes and drinks while Uncle Danny proceeded to cut the torso section of the suckling pig, and Auntie Karin repacked some of the edible goodies to return to my family.
Along with part of the goodies we brought, we were also given the following items to bring back: bedlinen, pillows, bolster, quilt and quilt cover, as well as Ang Bao for my parents and 2 grandmothers. These items that were previously agreed on between the 2 families during the food tasting session at Park Palace Restaurant.
The exchange signifies the agreement by both sides of the family to the wedding. It's official!
