I’ve slept for a few hours now and my body still doesn’t know time it is. I’m thinking it will take a couple days to make this transition.
So after this ceremony with the threads, which Fai and I are still wearing all of them. We have to wear them all for 1 night and then we can remove all but 1, we have to wear the one for 3 days. It’s there tradition.
One of Fai’s uncles, Fai’s brothers wife, some of her friends and a couple cousins speak English. And as luck would have it, there was a girl who from our country who came to the party too, she is from Georgia. She is a teacher at the school where Fai’s uncle works. Lots of teachers in Fai’s family.
As they came around some were able to give the warm wishes in English. So far as long as I have someone near me who speaks English we can communicate together.
It’s hot here too. It’s like 90 degrees during the day and about 75-80 degrees at night. The house is comfortable temperature inside.
So many warm gestures throughout the night. They had tons of Thai food and her uncle went and got me some spaghetti and pizza. That was a treat.
After we received everyone’s threads they had us go up on stage. They did a brief q and a to us. It was pretty cool. They asked me how did you meet Fai? Why do you love Fai? What do you think of Fai’s family? And I had throughout the night been giving things the thumbs up. I gave Fai’s family 2 thumbs up for sure. A wonderful bunch of people. They asked Fai why does she love me and she said becuase I am the best.
After that Fai and I sang our song together for her family, we were a little rusty but got through it ok lol. We haven’t sang the song for awhile.
Then Fai sang a song to me and her uncle translated for me. The song’s meaning was about you are the best.
In the distance right now I can hear the rooster crowing.
Fai’s aunt has a big business here so last night we were able to try the nuts her company makes.
Pretty cool stuff.
Throughout the night everyone told me that i look much younger and smaller in person then from the photos.
Speaking of photos, in Fai’s parents house, they had our wedding photo blown up and framed in a fancy frame.
During the party they had this photo on display in front of the stage.
Amazing stuff.
The photos here are of the food from the party, only some of it. Throughout the night they kept bringing more and more.
