The anniversary 2022 #1

Many years ago, me and home minister decided it's time to commit to that thin piece of paper. Guess we're one of those last few couples who has physical copy of marriage certificate, I heard nowadays you're digitally married and you can print your own certificate else where rather than get it from the government registration body 🤣

The challenge being, I'm from a very traditional Chinese family, and home minister from a quite modern thinking family. And me being one of the last decendant of the entire generation of my Sur name, my dad insisted we need to put up a grand celebration by inviting all his 11 brothers and 2 sisters and their family to come to my wedding ceremony 😂(exclude my mom's side 9 sisters and 3 brothers and their fruitful families)

Having said that, home minister family isn't too small either as the mom in law side, the grandfather got 3 wifes(English input please, 3 wives? Or 3 wifes?). We need to split the registration date to 1 day with only a few family members, our parents, and reschedule a dinner reception with her family, and then another dinner up north at my home town with my thousand family members 🤣

During the registration, it's unfortunate that we got stuck behind an old man, as I overheard he's a cab driver. He wanted a divorce, but due to language barrier, he can barely understand the instruction from the registration officer. The officer asked me to assist on translation, so she can quickly be done with the divorce case and get me and home minister get the license to sex.

As we were holding hands listening to the story of that oldman on how he encountered a young girl and he decided he's done with his wife and he wanted to be with the girl, we got the chill of our lives. It's simple, when he's 70, scoring a 20 year old is probably worth 6 months of Vaiggra experience, once she got the permanent residence status, he's getting another divorce and probably will lost half of his house(the other half will be for the ex-wife), his cab and possibly whatever balance in his savings account.

What a blessing experience to handle a divorce case on the wedding day 🤣 apologize for the non-relateness of all the photos above. These pictures happened before we depart for a short anniversary honeymoon trip to the east coast. Lemme give you a quick description on the photos from top to bottom.

  1. We arrived at the east coast of Kuantan town. Middle East side of peninsular Malaysia at the state of Pahang. Sorry gotta use this click bait thumbnail.
  2. The night before went to the roadside burger stall to grab some burgers.
  3. Probably the cheapest burger in town, next to McDonald's. Come to Malaysia, must search for Ramlee burger, to try the local taste.
  4. And price tag is seriously affordable. Any of these price, divide it by 4.5 and you'll get the dollar value.
  5. One last "healthy" meal before leaving for a honeymoon food hunting trip. Overnight oat, plain roti, and a bowl of salad with sesame mayo dressing.

Well, that must have been one hell of a wedding with all those family guests. Happy anniversary to you and your beloved home minister.

Thanks babe. I guess my wedding was the last most successful gathering we had with my dad's family. After that, the older generation starts to disappeared one after another. And now, half of my generation is gone 😅 not hard to imagine, my eldest cousin is actually older than my dad😅

And the next generation, they couldn't be bothered to find out who is their cousins anymore.

You are right there, the younger generation don't feel the same family ties. And families are getting smaller too, as we have less children in each generation. I'm one of 3 children but I'm the only one who had a child. My daughter has one child and won't be having any more. Suddenly, my family name ends. Crazy.

Oh my! You have a big family from both of your mom and dad's side. Anyway, I love how you call her "home minister" 😁

That is a pretty epic story. Our wedding in Suriname was attended by a handful of local friends there during the pandemic. I am glad there were no families involved, because like you, we both come from different cultures, languages, etc.

Wait. Pov got you a shinny wedding ring, that was your 1st anniversary? I only got to know you around end of 2020, so I didn't know you just got married that time 😁 however, I have a very deep impression of your orange tuk tuk.

My mom in law is the man. She technically gave speech to all my wedding ceremonies and impressed every single one of mine and her relatives 🤣 I guess it's a strategy she apply to keep me married to her daughter because I will have trouble finding another mother in law to make such a wonderful speech if I decided to have my next wedding 🤣🤣🤣

If your mother in law was a Hiver, I'm sure she'd be flattered by your comment 😁. Pov and I got married in Suriname, and that was really the only purpose of going abroad because we couldn't get legally married here. The Cambodian government stipulates I must make $2,000 USD per month to marry a Cambodian citizen, haha, never even made that much in the USA before I left. I maxed out at $10 per hour in the USA, and with taxes, rarely ever earned more than $1,200 USD per month, just enough to keep me above poverty and ineligible for all government assistance.

We did have a yellow tuk-tuk once upon a time, and the friend I sold it to still has it I think.
