I attended a few weddings before but last Saturday was the "last wedding" i attended for my father's cousins because the youngest sister, I call her Ting Gu Gu, she finally got married! yay! -.-... Now this actually spiced up my holiday. I was requested to be one of the bride's 'ji mui'. Its like the bride's sister. ^^ All of our theme is white/creamy... Because of this, my mum bought me dresses and accessories... But i ended up wearing the last-minute-dress we bought JUST before the wedding day! ^^
As you all know, traditionally, the bride's sisters (not biological sisters) get to have "fun" with the bridegroom's "brother". Well, not at all "fun" for them as we planned all the challenges for them before they could get to the bride (of course it wldn't be that easy to get our beloved Kuku). They had to "bribe" us with ang pows and we were not that easy to please at all. All these were done with proper and careful planning by 2 of our elder cousins. It was really fun and enjoyable at the same time.
Each of them were made to wear some funny looking head gears after they shouted loud enough at the gate before they could enter. Then the bridegroom got to wear a gold belly dancer dress and shaked himself till we were satisfied. It was so hilarious!! The final part was the best of all when they found out that the bride waited was our dear male cousin who was dressed like an old maid and he grabbed and kissed the bridegroom.
Well, after all the "hard works", the "sisters" got around RM60.00 each from the "collections", not bad huh....... I really enjoyed being a "ji mui" first time and hope there are many more to come. This is something each couple got to go thru so that they have such sweet memories to cherish when they are old. And i guess the next generation is us, me and my cousins. :)
