Dad and I spent the quiet hours of the early morning to clean the yard and their house too. Guests will be arriving in the afternoon for my niece's pre-wedding day celebration and whilst I tidy up everyday, there are some things that I just can't touch without my old man's approval, most especially their front porch which is filled with his various stuff. He goes crazy looking for things when they are moved without him knowing. I was just glad that he organized them himself and all I did was dust out, mop and sweep floors.

All good.

Meanwhile, I'm still quite amused that this niece of mine used to say she would stay single and there's the least chance that she would be getting married. She even teased her younger sister to have more kids because she herself won't be having any. That was just less than a year ago. I was to correct her to not say things in finality because she never know how things would play out but I chose to keep my mouth shut. She will find out on her own, I thought.

And perhaps she did.

Her time has come and they are tying the knot. Surprisingly, she's quite the unconventional. She wants everything simple. Nothing fancy. "I don't want this and that... no cake please. I want this instead..." Okay, why not? Let's do that then!

It's a breath of fresh air and I love it.

She likes it small too, 200 guests at most. Pretty interesting actually but I love that she knows exactly what she wants. They hired a venue where the event will take place so it's somewhere away from here. Today though, there's going to be a small party to welcome the groom's family. They are coming from another region and I imagine it will be sort of a "getting-to-know you" session this afternoon.

With all the weddings in the family, this might be the quietest event yet and whilst I know that my old man wishes it to be big and loud, there is nothing he can do because it's the couple's decision to keep it how they like it to be. It's a drastic change on how things are usually done but a really good one if I must say so. And it feels nice.

Until then...

Maybe they are just being practical..not grand celebration, lesser expenses. Hehe. Or are they minimalists? For, me it's better to have fewer guests as well..fewer people to entertain, lol.
Bilis ng event..just the other day, you posted about knowing her pregnancy. Then now, wedding na hehe..

Your niece must have been totally bowled over by her fiancee, the saying goes- never say never! She also must believe in the phrase 'less is more' wanting to keep things simple, quite the individual, and knows exactly what she wants not so!
200 guests in our terms would be a huge wedding, enjoy the celebrations 💞

She must be :) It would be nice to tease her about it, lol!

Thank you, Lizzie. I think our place is the most extravagant when it comes to weddings. It's like a party for the whole town. The number of people can be crazy.

I think that is fantastic that she is getting married. Tell them congratulations for me. 200 guests? To me that is a big wedding. It is more than I had at mine. It will be a big party for sure 😀

Thank you, Joe. Your greetings will reach her :)

200 is relatively small here in our place. A normal wedding would usually attract more than double that number. It's tradition.

It might be small here too. I just never been to one bigger than that though I don't think. It is a great tradition you have though.

I love your nice mindset toward her wedding, it is always great to know just what we want with our big day just like this.

During my time, my sisters were kind of like why don't I do that, that, and that, I will just tell them this is how I wanted it and I'm glad they corporate and supported me in the end.

I wish her a successful wedding ceremony and a happy marriage life.

It seems the preparation for wedding started from the earlier and the situation is like a festival there.

this niece of mine used to say she would stay single

I have seen one in my life who has the same thoughts🙂. Watching them to marry I pinch them memorizing their words 😅

Yes, Inti. And isn't it funny when people who say things like that often end up the opposite?😅 It's good though, at least it shows how changeable people's minds are.

Haha! We never know what comes so it's good to not say things we aren't sure about.
