Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 24, 2005 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2005 Dear Anon,Yes, this is a Chinese belief. As it was felt that attending someone else's wedding soon after our own wedding is considered a "clash" and thus inauspicious to do so.One should wait until at least six-months after one's wedding before attending other people's wedding.This is part of the "older-Chinese-generation" belief.Since your parents are fully against both of you attending your friend's wedding, it is best to follow their instructions.As to whether something bad ... is another matter which according to the "clash" if possible, try to avoid doing so.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 2/24/2005 9:19:01 PM, Anonymous wrote:Hi,My wife and I are in a dilemmawhether we can attend ourfriends wedding which falls4months before or after ourown wedding.From our parents,there isa saying that ifwe were to attend someting badwill befall both parties?Please enlighten us...

myfs_111280 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 So it is after our wedding?Not before?If before got any 'clashes'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 25, 2005 Staff Share Posted February 25, 2005 Dear Anon,Yes, it is after your wedding and not before. Thus if one's wedding is 3 months time and if the wedding is tommorrow or in two months time; there is no issue in attending your friend's/relative's wedding.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 2/25/2005 3:52:37 AM, Anonymous wrote:So it is after our wedding?Notbefore?If before got any'clashes'?
