The Ask-The-Parents Day

6th of august, the day I asked her parents whether they approve of us getting married in the future.

Was quite nervous, no, was very very nervous. But managed to get the courage to tell the parents simply (in my usual bad mandarin) my intentions:

We've come together last year with the intention of getting married in the future, and now that we're going to start slowly planning and looking out for stuff in preparations for marrying (God willing) in 2008, I thought it appropriate to ask them for their approval first, since she's their daughter after all...

The parents smiled a lot, and the mum just said simply mid sentence:"we don't disapprove". Following which they gave some advice in the short period of time that I stayed for a drink, and then I had to go home to prepare for school tomorrow.

*whew* Not much closer to marriage in that sense, but certainly part of showing to Yifen and others around that I'm serious in wanting to marry her. =")
