Irene's wedding (3)



XiaoHo was doing number 2. Few days ago, he was trying to get YeeYee's toy car. YeeYee was few months yonger and lives next door. XiaoHo was so angry that YeeYee won't give him the car so he gave YeeYee a good slap. We pulled them apart and told XiaoHo he can never hit any one again. Couple days later, we finally pursuade YeeYee to come around to play and promised XiaoHo cannot hit him ever. Everything was so nice, my mom was cooking lunch and I was reading the newspaper while the 2 kids were playing.

Out of blue we heard the door slamming and obviously locked. We then heard YeeYee crying very hard. XiaoHo has locked up himself and YeeYee so he can beat him up without interruption.

Although we all knew the farewell is not like Irene is not going to see her family forever, Irene and her mom were both crying so hard. However, we were all very amazed that Irene's make up was holding firm. We then went to the hotel, I was instructed to open the car door for Irene, she shall not touch anything before entering Aoki's pseudo home. Those 2 got off the car and the diligent bride's maid had to carry the 6 item presents in a big wooden box following them. I managed not to trip over my gown, so proud of myself.

Finally everything was done, we only need to go to the registration office to finish the official document. Emily and I were the 2 witnesses. While the notary explaining the rights and obligations of the marriage, Emily had to translate it to Japanese for Aoki. The document was amended to indicate the ceremony was conducted in Mandarin and being translated. I guess the notary service has to get it clear so to avoid trouble if Aoki doesn't understand what document he is signing.
