Today was not a special day – I had 3 classes, lunch with students. I wanted to go swimming but every hour there were students in the swimming pool and I really did not feel comfortable going there in my bikini So I stayed in the office whole day. Sarah wants me to cook her something traditional czech, so I spend an hour thinking about what should I do. But first I think I’ll have to visit markets and ssupermarket to see what I can buy here. Oh and also something very nice happend. A boy in one class (2nd grader) told me that I am gorgeus and beautiful woman. He broke all my thoughts about taiwanese beeing too shy, mostly because he said that in fornt of the whole classroom He really took my breath away! and all the students where making fn of him then. But it was really sweet
I decided to do some research and write here something about the traditional Taiwanese wedding. A traditional wedding must follow a total of six procedures to be considered complete. These include an official proposal, the matching of the couple’s birthdates, the selection of an auspicious date for the wedding, the delivery of gifts, the confirmation of the wedding date and lastly the wedding ceremony. Nowadays weddings are not so strict in following these rules.
The groom has to first propose to the parents. This is very official and he has to bring a matchmaker with him, who will go through the details of the marriage. When proposing, apart from the groom, those present, including his parents and the matchmaker, need to make an odd-numbered total of people. Usually there is a standard of three or five people. If the bride’s family agrees, they give the groom red paper where is in detail written the date of birth of the bride. Then he has to find a fortunteller, who will choose the auspicious date of wedding.
During the wedding there are many traditional things taking place, but if you are really interesetd in this you can see this link, where a guy, that wed a taiwanese girl describes all to detail:
