1160. Who are the guests

Yes, no matter which country you are in, getting married is a big event for a lifetime, so you naturally have to choose a good day for your wedding.

Qin Shiou and Winnie got engaged first this time, but they were not married yet, so the engagement date was set first.

Qin's father and Qin's mother didn't know this. No one had married a foreign wife in their hometown. After coming to Canada a few times, the two old men also knew that the customs and habits of foreigners were also different.

After sitting together, Qin's father talked about the engagement and asked Winni's mother how much engagement gift was.

Miranda was stunned and said in a daze: "What kind of bride price do you ask how much money you will spend during the engagement process? This is already in our plan. Please rest assured."

This is the difference in culture. Qin Shiou quickly explained to his parents that he did not need to give the woman a betrothal gift to the engagement, and he only needed to prepare a pair of engagement rings. In addition, during the entire engagement process, the two elders did not need to pay money, they just enjoy it.

Qin's father was incredible and said, "We can marry a good girl like Winnie home without spending money."

Qin's mother hesitated and asked: "It's just that engagement doesn't cost money. Let's host the marriage, right? But this is not great, how can the woman spend money on engagement?"

Qin Shiou said: "This is the custom. Not only engagement, but also Winnie's parents' family pays for the money when they get engaged."

Winnie's grandfather is Chinese. Although she has been away from China for many years, she has attended many weddings in China and is familiar with the customs of the Chinese people.

Hearing Qin's father and mother muttering, he smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Let's just discuss the engagement date. The rest are indeed handled by us. Miranda and Mario are looking forward to this day."

It is said that Chinese people are extravagant and wasteful in marriage, but foreigners are actually even better at this point. This is especially true for Canadians. Because of different customs, many families have multiple ethnic marriages, and even have to hold two weddings when they get married.

This time Qin Shiou is almost like this. He has to do it again when he returns to his hometown. Of course, he will pay by himself.

When foreigners get married, the cost of the wedding is borne by the woman's family. A wedding can make ordinary working-class families unable to relieve themselves for a long time. Qin Shiou has been in Canada for more than two years and has a good understanding of the unspoken rules represented by some social situations. If an ordinary family wants to marry a daughter, then her parents will definitely be busy working overtime and part-time jobs half a year in advance.

Since the old man has spoken, Qin's father and mother won't say much. They have confidence in Qin Shiou's financial resources and know that with their son's enthusiasm for Winnie, they will definitely not let her family suffer.

Next is the engagement date. This Canadian is not very particular about the wedding date. The weather will be cold after October.

Mario and Miranda have already discussed the time in advance and booked it in the upcoming June.

June is the month when Canadian girls choose to get married the most, which has something to do with Roman myths.

June is in English, which comes from the name of Juno Juno, the goddess in Roman mythology who is in charge of love and marriage. The girls believe that getting married at this time will be blessed by the goddess Juno.

In fact, this is a complete silence, and some people have counted it before. People who get married in June have the highest divorce rate.

Qin's father and mother nodded and said yes, which day will be booked in June? Winni's parents saw that the old couple on the other side just smiled and didn't express their opinions, so they felt embarrassed and asked them to express their opinions.

Qin Shiou knew the reason for his parents' restraint. The Winnie family was too awesome. Although Miranda is now a housewife to take care of Mario and the two elderly people, before he left the job, he was also an editor-in-chief of the largest popular magazine in the three provinces of the grassland.

Mario has a small business under his command, with more employees than Qin Shiou Fishery, so of course the output value is much worse. Winnie's grandfather and grandmother used to be even better in China and were both official. Her grandmother also worked as a visiting professor at Tsinghua University.

In contrast, Qin's father and mother are ordinary farmers, and they are inevitably under pressure when facing them. It's okay to have an ordinary meal. If everyone sits together to talk about serious matters, they will naturally be more reserved.

However, Qin Shiou thought it was good that the two elders were reserved but not inferior. Of course, this was also the confidence he gave to his parents. In his hometown, Qin Shiou was a standard prince charming or a foreign prince charming. I wonder how many people were thinking about his Tang Monk's flesh.

Qin Shiou asked his parents what good days were in June, and Qin's father laughed and said, "Let's respect the opinions of the Winnie family. This is Canada. God probably won't be able to control this. Are they not that Jesus and his mother in charge, so they will follow their own."

There is nothing to force in this kind of thing. Since the parents showed their style, Qin Shiou's level followed and asked Winni's parents to set the date.

Mario nodded and said, "Then what about June 2nd day before is International Children's Day. We celebrate Hathaway's holiday, and then celebrate the two children."

Qin's father and mother nodded and said yes, this statement is also good.

Qin Shiou actually felt that time was very fast. Although engagement does not require the grand arrangement of marriage, he also had to invite friends to participate. These tasks usually have to be handled one month in advance, and now it is only half a month before June 2nd.

Since time is fast, after setting a date, Qin Shiou and Winnie have to make an invitation quickly.

At first, Qin Shiou felt that it was mainly Winnie's side, because his main guests were in China, and it was probably good if they could get married. They couldn't get engaged. After all, his classmates and friends couldn't enjoy the International Children's Day holiday.

As a result, when the designer got the invitation, Winnie looked bitter: "My college classmate and I have had a breakup, and I'm afraid there are not many people here. However, when I was a flight attendant, some of my friends were pretty good, but the number of people was not large."

Chinese weddings, especially Qin Shiou's hometown in rural areas, engagement is actually very simple. Once parents of both parties sit down, set a date and the man will give him financial resources to have a meal. Canada is not possible. Friends and relatives of both parties will have a party together.

Qin Shiou hugged Winnie and said with distress: "It's okay, you send the invitation to them. If they don't come, that's their problem. What does it have to do with you?"

Auerbach helped the two fill in the information. Seeing Winnie's embarrassment, he asked with a smile: "There is a misunderstanding between you and your college classmates."

What he said was quite tactful, but in fact he guessed that Winni was not popular in college. But this time he was right, it was really a misunderstanding. The matter between Fox and Armand had nothing to do with Winnie. She was also a victim, okay?

Since she told Qin Shiou about her experience, Winnie's heart knot had been opened. There was nothing to be embarrassed about like this, so she told Auerbach again.

After hearing this, the old man laughed indifferently and said, "It's very simple. I can guarantee that they will come. Come on, I'll teach you what to do." To be continued.
