My husband’s nephew (my nephew, I love him, too) married a lovely girl in Guatemala a year ago. She’s deaf/mute. I swear she can communicate better than most hearing and speaking people, however. It took some time, but they finally got her marriage visa and they came home in May. Today, they’re going to have a Buddhist ceremony. My SIL asked me to HELP! because she’s not Buddhist and doesn’t have a computer to make invitations, etc.
I made the invitations, hired the ASL interpreter so that the nephew can just sit back and enjoy his own ceremony, made the program and arranged dozens of other little things for today’s event. My SIL, on the other hand, has baked 15 pies, 100 cornbread muffins, stocked a bar, ordered 200 pieces of chicken (cheaper than doing it herself, apparently), made several HUGE salads and spent two weeks cleaning up her farmhouse yard (wrangle those chickens!).
We expect about 40-50 people to show up at the ceremony. Probaby 70-80 at the reception.
Best thing: My daughter is the San-san-kudo girl! The “closest unmarried female relative” traditionally performs/pours the sake ceremony for the bride and groom. My daughter is it! There’s something special about being the San-san-kudo girl in a wedding. I was the server once…when I was 28 years old. It’s like catching the bride’s bouquet. I was the next married. However, my kid is only 16, so let’s give her 10 more years before she has to find her own San-san-kudo girl!
Wanna see the happy couple? Here they are! I’ll post more photos later.
